Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for left leg deep vein thrombosis to obtain potentially relevant private treatment records from Duke University Health System.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error in failing to follow up with the provider and attempt to access the contents of the CD containing the private treatment records.
