Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of service connection for PTSD and whether the character of the Appellant's discharge from service is a bar to entitlement to VA benefits, exclusive of health care and related benefits authorized under Chapter 17.
The deciding factor: A medical opinion regarding the Appellant's mental status at the time of misconduct leading to his discharge is necessary to determine if he was insane at that time.
