Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of whether the character of the service member's discharge is a bar to VA compensation benefits for further development, including obtaining an adequate medical opinion on the Appellant's mental state during service.
The deciding factor: The requested medical opinion is inadequate and the AOJ failed to substantially comply with previous remand directives.
