Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded all claims for service connection due to pre-decisional errors by the VA. The Veteran's claims will be re-evaluated with proper examinations and consideration of his service in the Southwest Asia theater.
The deciding factor: The Board identified systematic pre-decisional errors by the Agency of Original Jurisdiction (AOJ) that violated the duty to assist the Veteran.
