Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for a higher rating for depressive disorder with anxious distress was sent back to the VA for further review. The VA needs to get records from Social Security.
The deciding factor: The Board remanded the case because the VA did not obtain relevant Social Security disability benefits records before making their decision.
