Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability for treatment purposes only under 38 U.S.C. Chapter 17, as additional evidence and examination are needed.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error in failing to obtain treatment records from the private clinician and an examination to determine the etiology of the Appellant's acquired psychiatric disability.
