Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for intervertebral disc disease of the lumbar spine and degenerative disease of the cervical spine to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to an unfulfilled duty to provide notice of a right to a pre-decisional hearing, as mandated by 38 C.F.R. § 3.103(d)(1).
