Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for depression to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as there was insufficient medical evidence on file at the time of the July 2024 rating decision.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an insufficient medical opinion regarding the Veteran's claimed psychiatric disability and its potential relationship to his active service.
