Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as it is unclear whether the Veteran's claimed conditions are due to any incident of his period of active service.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to ensure proper notification and scheduling of examinations related to the Veteran's claimed conditions.
