Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of a higher rating for back disability and service connection for teeth and gum problems due to an error in providing notice of the right to a hearing.
The deciding factor: A remand is required because the initial AOJ decisions did not include notice of the right to a hearing, preventing the Veteran from making a fully informed decision regarding his review options.
