Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial rating in excess of 50 percent for depression to afford the Veteran a VA examination and obtain updated treatment records.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error by affording the Veteran a VA examination so as to determine the nature and severity of her depression throughout the course of the appeal.
