Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for an earlier effective date for her eye surgery scars and related benefits due to inconsistencies in exam findings and unaddressed extraschedular considerations.
The deciding factor: The Board could not ascertain the number and characteristics of the Veteran's scars at a given time during this appeal, necessitating a remand to cure this pre-decisional duty to assist error.
