Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for pleomorphic adenoma and nerve damage, to include painful scar as secondary to pleomorphic adenoma, due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to provide the Veteran with a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of his pleomorphic adenoma and to ensure complete VA treatment records are associated with the claims file.
