The Board has determined that new and material evidence has been received to reopen the veteran's claim for service connection for a neuropsychiatric disorder, including PTSD. The case is now remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: New evidence submitted by the veteran includes medical opinions suggesting a possible link between his current psychiatric condition and his military service, which was not previously considered in February 1990.
