Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to obtain a medical opinion that addresses whether the Veteran's diagnosed conditions of paranoid schizophrenia and insomnia are related to service.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to an inadequate statement of reasons or bases for the April 2024 decision, specifically regarding the necessity of an in-person examination versus a medical opinion.
