Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a groin skin disorder, bilateral foot skin disorder, and bilateral eye disorder to correct pre-decisional errors related to the duty to assist.
The deciding factor: Adequate medical opinions were not provided due to reliance on absence of documentation in the record without considering lay statements regarding in-service symptoms and recurrence since service.
