given to the VA disability rating,” further develop the record, “and attempt to obtain any missing

medical records.” (Id. at 2) Further, the parties noted the matter was to be remanded under sentence

26

four of 42 U.S.C. § 405(g), and request final judgment be entered in favor of the plaintiff. (Id. at 1)
