Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for additional development and readjudication consistent with a Joint Motion for Partial Remand due to missing treatment records and the need for a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to the failure of VA to make reasonable efforts to obtain relevant psychiatric treatment records from Vet Centers, as well as the need for an updated VA examination given the Veteran's reported worsening symptoms.
