Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is remanded to obtain complete federal records needed to adjudicate the claim. The Board needs more information about when the misconduct occurred to determine if the veteran's periods of service can be separated for VA benefit purposes.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the claims file is missing critical information regarding the dates of misconduct, which is necessary to apply the relevant regulations.
