Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to satisfy pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including an inadequate medical opinion and insufficient notice.
The deciding factor: The May 2020 decision was found legally inadequate due to a lack of clear conclusions with supporting data and a reasoned medical explanation connecting the two. Additionally, there were issues with the notice provided to the Veteran and his spouse regarding the denial of eligibility for PCAFC benefits.
