Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a psychiatric condition to afford the Veteran a VA examination.
The deciding factor: The record does not contain sufficient medical evidence to determine if the Veteran's current psychiatric conditions are related to his service, and thus a VA examination is necessary.
