Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to readjudicate the Veteran's July 2018 claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, considering new and material evidence submitted in 2019.
The deciding factor: Good cause was found for the untimely filing of the February 2021 VA Form 10182, as the Veteran had continuously filed claims since July 2019, and the RO did not properly advise him on the correct form to use until a phone call in December 2020.
