Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for further development and readjudication, as it provided an inadequate statement of reasons or bases for its findings.
The deciding factor: The Board's decision did not adequately address whether the Veteran's anxiety disorder included alcohol use disorder prior to September 12, 2022, and relied on a possible typographical error in the June 18, 2020, VA treatment record.
