Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a medical opinion to determine whether the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder clearly and unmistakably pre-existed service and, if so, whether it was clearly and unmistakably not aggravated during service.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is insufficient to decide the claim, and the Board must remand the matter to obtain a medical opinion regarding aggravation of a pre-existing condition.
