Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is remanded to correct duty to assist errors, specifically for a more detailed medical opinion and proper notice of the decision.
The deciding factor: The CEAT evaluation was inadequate as it failed to address favorable evidence showing the Veteran requires assistance with wound maintenance, application of his topical medication, and personal hygiene.
