Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include unspecified depressive disorder, as new and relevant evidence has been added to the record since the March 2015 rating decision.
The deciding factor: New evidence related to the Veteran's mental health condition was submitted after the initial denial in 2015, necessitating a readjudication of the claim.
