Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder to attempt to obtain outstanding medical records and to order a clarifying opinion in accordance with the Court's directive.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to unclear evidence regarding whether the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder was clearly and unmistakably not aggravated by service, as well as the possibility of pre-service hospitalization records that may be relevant.
