Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for varicose veins and chronic sinusitis to correct a duty to assist error and obtain outstanding VA treatment records.
The deciding factor: The Board identified a duty to assist error that occurred prior to the January 2023 rating decision on appeal, necessitating a remand to retrieve missing VA treatment records.
