Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain further documentation of the civilian court findings regarding the Appellant's discharge and to obtain a medical opinion on the nature of his mental disorder at the time of misconduct.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to an error in fulfilling VA's duty to assist the Appellant, specifically related to obtaining relevant court documents and a medical opinion regarding the extent of the Appellant's mental impairment at the time of discharge.
