Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claims for service connection for left ear hearing loss and an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD, major depressive disorder, and substance induced mood disorder, are remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the claims must be remanded again for further development due to incomplete actions by the RO.
