Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, major depressive disorder, bipolar disorder, and alcohol use disorder, due to inadequate evidence and need for further development of the record.
The deciding factor: Inadequate VA examination and missing service personnel records necessitate a remand for additional development.
