Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of loss of teeth is remanded. The Board found that the Veteran should have been given a VA examination before the July 2023 rating decision.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the Veteran was not afforded a VA examination prior to the rating decision, which is a pre-decisional duty to assist.
