Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain J.M.'s federal records from SSA, as VA has not made any efforts to secure and consider these records.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error in not securing and considering J.M.'s federal records from SSA.
