Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial increased rating for an acquired psychiatric disorder as new and relevant evidence has been received.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence from the Veteran's wife was submitted, which tends to prove or disprove a matter at issue in the claim for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for an acquired psychiatric disorder.
