Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of hyperlipidemia secondary to the Veteran's service-connected renal disease. The Veteran will receive a new VA examination to determine if his hyperlipidemia is a disability and its relationship to his service-connected renal disease.
The deciding factor: The Board found that a pre-decisional duty to assist error occurred because the AOJ did not provide an examination addressing functional impairment of earning capacity due to hyperlipidemia.
