Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for DEA benefits in excess of 45 months to correct an error by the AOJ in satisfying a regulatory duty.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to make reasonable efforts to schedule an informal conference and did not associate the Appellant's education file under his stepfather with the claims file.
