Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial disability rating greater than 30 percent for service-connected psychiatric disabilities prior to November 1, 2023, as the AOJ has not adjudicated the Veteran's September 2023 supplemental claim in the first instance.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary because the AOJ has not addressed the Veteran's timely received September 2023 supplemental claim seeking an initial disability rating greater than 30 percent for his service-connected psychiatric disabilities prior to November 1, 2023.
