Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for an etiological opinion regarding the Veteran's cause of death, which is claimed to be related to service due to an acquired psychiatric disorder.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as the AOJ failed to obtain a medical opinion on the etiology of the Veteran's cause of death and did not adequately assist the appellant in obtaining relevant medical records.
