Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of character of discharge and DIC benefits for further development, including obtaining a new medical opinion regarding the Servicemember's sanity at the time of misconduct.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to an inadequate pre-decisional duty to assist error in the previous VA medical opinion.
