Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of whether the character of the Appellant's discharge from service is a bar to entitlement to VA benefits, and the claims for service connection for depression and anxiety due to the need for a medical opinion regarding the Appellant's mental state at the time of her misconduct leading to her bad conduct discharge.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that a remand is necessary to obtain a medical opinion regarding the Appellant's mental state at the time of the misconduct leading to her bad conduct discharge.
