Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for an initial rating greater than 10 percent for left and right foot calluses, and a compensable rating for a residual scar from a right groin abscess due to pre-decisional duty-to-assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to correct pre-decisional duty-to-assist errors, including obtaining Social Security Administration records and scheduling an updated examination for the Veteran's service-connected right groin scar.
