Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for right and left lower extremity peripheral neuropathy, and a compensable rating for migraine headaches to ensure that all relevant private treatment records are obtained.
The deciding factor: A duty to assist existed at the time of the rating decision on appeal to obtain the Veteran's identified private treatment records from West Florida Hospital, but these records could not be obtained without an electronic signature meeting specific requirements.
