Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death and Dependency and Indemnity Compensation (DIC) under 38 U.S.C. § 1318 due to an error in failing to provide notice of the right to a pre-decisional hearing on supplemental claims.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary to correct the VA's duty to assist error in failing to provide the Appellant notice of her right to a hearing conducted by AOJ personnel under 38 C.F.R. § 3.103(b)(1) and (d)(1).
