Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a kidney condition and heart condition due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error related to the failure to obtain Social Security Administration records.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that new and relevant evidence has been received to warrant readjudication of the appeal, specifically regarding the Veteran's receipt of SSA disability benefits which may be relevant to his service connection claims.
