Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial rating higher than 30 percent for the service-connected heart disability to correct an error by the AOJ in not informing the Veteran of his right to a pre-decisional hearing.
The deciding factor: The Board erred by failing to remand the claim to correct an error by the AOJ, which did not satisfy its regulatory duty to notify the Veteran of his right to a pre-decisional hearing prior to the March 2022 rating decision.
