Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for a VA examination to determine the severity of the Veteran's auditory processing disorder and whether it is most analogous to a hearing loss, mental disability, or a physical disability.
The deciding factor: Remand is warranted due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error and lack of consensus in determining the severity of the Veteran's auditory processing disorder.
