Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of Type 2 diabetes mellitus as secondary to a psychiatric disorder is remanded. The Board needs more information on whether the veteran's obesity, caused by his psychiatric condition, led to diabetes.
The deciding factor: The VA did not adequately address whether the veteran's obesity was aggravated by his service-connected psychiatric disorder.
