Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for type II diabetes mellitus, peripheral neuropathy, and vision problems to the AOJ for adjudication of the request to substitute for accrued benefits purposes.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claims were pending at the time of his death and not finally adjudicated, thus the Board finds they must be adjudicated on remand.
