Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a skin condition, left ear hearing loss disability, and tinnitus due to an error by the AOJ in failing to notify the Veteran of his right to a pre-decisional hearing.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to correct an error by the AOJ in satisfying a regulatory duty prior to the April 2022 rating decision on appeal, specifically, failure to notify the Veteran of his right to a hearing before the AOJ issued its initial decision.
