Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for increased initial disability evaluations and TDIU due to incomplete records and a need for additional development.
The deciding factor: Incomplete VA Medical Center (VAMC) treatment records from Community Care program and other third-party providers, as well as private medical records, necessitate further development before adjudication can proceed.
