Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for individual unemployability due to errors in obtaining necessary medical opinions and records. The veteran will undergo further examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA did not obtain an adequate medical opinion prior to the rating decision on appeal, triggering a duty to assist error.
