Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for several conditions, including diabetes mellitus type II, heart disability, kidney disease with acute renal failure, hyperkalemia, prostate cancer, and blood clot in the left arm. The decision was based on a need to obtain private treatment records.
The deciding factor: The Board found that remand is required to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error, specifically to obtain private treatment records.
