Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for higher ratings and earlier effective dates for service-connected conditions, as well as a TDIU claim, due to insufficient evidence regarding private treatment records and medical opinions.
The deciding factor: Insufficient evidence was provided to support the Veteran's claims, specifically regarding his private treatment records and medical opinions on the impact of his service-connected disabilities on his employability.
