Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an increased rating for bipolar disorder and TDIU due to pre-decisional duty-to-assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain outstanding treatment records, an opinion on whether cannabis use disorder is a complication of service-connected bipolar disorder, and development of the reasonably raised TDIU claim.
