Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for increased ratings and service connection due to a pre-decisional error in failing to provide the Veteran with a VA mental disorders examination and not obtaining complete VA treatment records.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as the AOJ committed errors in failing to provide an appropriate examination and obtain complete medical records.
