Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is remanded because the VA did not provide the veteran with a copy of their medical examination report before making a decision. The case will be reviewed again after the veteran receives this document.
The deciding factor: The VA issued a decision without fulfilling the veteran's Privacy Act request, depriving them of the opportunity to submit additional information.
