Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder, including anxiety, bipolar disorder, and depression. The Veteran's service treatment records are being sought, and a new medical examination is required.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's psychiatric disorder claim should be considered as service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, and remanded the case due to inadequate medical opinions and missing service treatment records.
