Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to a rating in excess of 20 percent for a thoracolumbar spine disorder due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error and the need for notice regarding the Veteran's right to a pre-decisional hearing.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to provide the Veteran with proper notice of his right to a pre-decisional hearing and to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
