Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is remanded to schedule a VA mental health examination and ensure proper documentation of notice. The veteran's homelessness and lack of response to scheduling attempts are noted.
The deciding factor: The Board has remanded the claim multiple times due to the Veteran's failure to attend scheduled examinations, and there is no documented proof that the Veteran was notified of the date, time, and location of these examinations.
