Citation Nr: 21000975 Decision Date: 01/06/21 Archive Date: 01/06/21 DOCKET NO. 14-10 913A DATE: January 6, 2021 REMANDED Entitlement to service connection for a neck disorder is remanded. Entitlement to service connection for a bilateral foot disorder is remanded. Entitlement to service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), schizophrenia, and alcoholism, is remanded. Entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) is remanded. Entitlement to service connection for a dental disorder for treatment purposes is remanded. REASONS FOR REMAND The Veteran had active service in the United States Army from January 1973 to November 1980, including foreign service. In September 2018, the Board of Veterans’ Appeals (Board) remanded these appeals for additional development. See Stegall v. West, 11 Vet. App. 268, 271 (1998). At that time, the Board recharacterized the issues on appeal as set forth herein. Additionally, the Board found that the Veteran’s request for a hearing had been withdrawn. Following the Board’s remand, the Agency of Original Jurisdiction (AOJ) issued a supplemental statement of the case (SSOC) in August 2020. For reasons that are not apparent, the SSOC was mailed to an address other than that of record. In a November 2020 Appellate Brief, the Veteran’s representative noted such, and requested that the Veteran’s appeals again be remanded, to provide the Veteran with his SSOC. Upon the above, a remand is now necessary to send the Veteran a copy of the SSOC at his correct address. The mailing of the SSOC to the wrong address is a material defect necessitating a remand. See 38 C.F.R. § 19.31(b)(2). Accordingly, the case is REMANDED for the following actions: 1. The AOJ should verify the correct address for the Veteran. [CONTINUED ON NEXT PAGE] 2. The AOJ should then resend the August 2020 SSOC to the Veteran’s correct address and his representative. The Veteran and his representative should be given an appropriate time to respond. Kate E. Kovarovic Acting Veterans Law Judge Board of Veterans’ Appeals Attorney for the Board T. C. KING The Board’s decision in this case is binding only with respect to the instant matter decided.
