Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for kidney stones and vision changes, as well as any evidence that was not considered in the prior rating decisions, to correct duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to incomplete secondary service connection nexus opinions that failed to address the aggravation prong of 38 C.F.R. § 3.310(b).
