Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the Veteran's claims for an increased disability rating and earlier effective dates for TDIU and DEA benefits due to missing treatment records and duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The Board identified pre-decisional duty to assist errors that must be remedied on remand, including obtaining missing VA treatment records and SSA documents.
