Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an earlier effective date for PCAFC benefits to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error, including ensuring all relevant records are associated with the claims file and providing adequate notice of the decision as required by 38 U.S.C. § 5104.
The deciding factor: The current record is missing pertinent documents necessary for a complete adjudication of the claim, and there was an inadequate duty to assist error in the original decision.
