Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disability, to include unspecified bipolar and related disorder with anxious distress, cannabis use disorder, and other hallucinogen use disorder, due to missing records and a need for additional evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain missing service treatment records and private medical records, as well as to provide an addendum medical opinion based on the complete record.
