Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a psychiatric examination to determine the current severity of the Veteran's service-connected PTSD and Bipolar I disorder with alcohol abuse.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to the lack of recent VA examination evidence and proper notice to the Veteran regarding a scheduled examination.
