Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for paranoid schizophrenia to schedule an examination and obtain a medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The record is inadequate as there is no VA opinion discussing the Veteran's current diagnosis of schizophrenia, and an examination and corresponding opinion are needed to correct this error.
