Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the service connection claim for hives due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including an inadequate medical opinion and missing VA treatment records.
The deciding factor: The unfavorable VA nexus opinion was based on an inaccurate factual premise, and relevant medical records were not obtained.
