Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for a higher rating and earlier effective dates related to major depressive disorder (MDD). The decision was based on procedural issues and the need for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the issues in this appeal are intertwined with those in another remand decision, requiring deferred adjudication until completion of requested development.
