Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for additional development, including new VA examinations to assess the severity of the Veteran's disabilities and address reports of daily suicidal ideation.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequate discussion of reports of daily suicidal ideation and failure to ensure adequate examinations in compliance with regulatory requirements.
