Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain the Veteran's service personnel records (SPRs) as they may contain indications of behavioral changes related to the onset of a psychiatric disorder during service.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to correct an error by the RO and satisfy its duty to assist the Veteran, specifically to acquire relevant records in the custody of a federal department or agency.
