Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is remanded to ensure the Appellant is afforded due process and to obtain a medical opinion upon which to decide the claims.
The deciding factor: Further development is required as the recent change in law necessitates an opportunity for the Appellant to provide evidence related to insanity and the compelling circumstances exception under the revised 38 C.F.R. § 3.12.
