Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for urinary frequency due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, specifically the failure to obtain the Veteran's complete service treatment records.
The deciding factor: A thorough review of the claims file reveals that the actual STRs are not of record, and VA's duty to assist requires it to make as many requests as necessary to secure relevant federal records.
