Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of a right bicep disorder and chronic neck pain. The veteran was not properly notified of his right to a pre-decisional hearing.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran was not provided notice of a right to a hearing prior to issuance of either the initial February 2023 or the May 2023 supplemental claim rating decision on appeal herein, which was during a period where VA had a duty to assist the Veteran in substantiating his claim.
