Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for additional development, including a retrospective opinion regarding the severity and manifestations of the Veteran's service-connected unspecified depressive disorder with insomnia during the period from March 8, 2013 to February 25, 2016.
The deciding factor: Additional development is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as the Veteran was not afforded a VA medical opinion in connection with his claim for unspecified depressive disorder with insomnia during this period.
