Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for a compensable rating for bilateral hearing loss has been remanded. The Board needs to correct a duty-to-assist error and schedule another VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Veteran was unable to reschedule a missed VA examination due to travel issues, and the Board found that he should be given another opportunity for an examination.
