Remanded (sent back)
The Board of Veterans' Appeals is remanding the Veteran's appeal for a VA psychiatric examination to determine the nature and relationship of any identified psychiatric disability to active service and service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The Court directed that the examinations of record were inadequate due to the Veteran's changed address and conflicting clinical records, necessitating further evaluation.
