Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for an unspecified depressive disorder due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, specifically the lack of National Guard records from 2016 and unverified active duty dates.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain missing National Guard records and verify active duty dates starting from 2016.
