DATE: October 5, 2021

REMANDED

Entitlement to service connection for colon cancer is remanded.

Entitlement to special monthly compensation based on the need of regular aid and attendance of another person is remanded.

REASONS FOR REMAND

In August 2021, the Veteran submitted an explicit request for her appeal to be remanded to the Agency of Original Jurisdiction for initial consideration of evidence received since the issuance of her most recent supplemental statement of the case in September 2021; therefore, a remand is necessary to ensure the Veteran is afforded due process.  See 38 C.F.R. § 19.37(b).

(Continued on the next page)

 

The matters are REMANDED for the following action:

Readjudicate the issues on appeal based on the evidence of record.  If any benefit sought on appeal remains denied, issue a supplemental statement of the case of return the matter to the Board, if otherwise in order.
