Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of hypothyroidism is remanded. The VA did not schedule a required examination before denying the claim.
The deciding factor: The Board found that a pre-decisional duty to assist error occurred because the RO did not schedule the Veteran for a VA examination prior to denying the claim.
