Remanded (sent back)
The case must be remanded to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as the appellant is working with DOD to upgrade his discharge.
The deciding factor: A complete record is necessary due to the appellant's claim of an outstanding application for a discharge upgrade, which would be critical evidence in his appeal with VA.
