The Veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, to include posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), is being remanded due to the need for additional development and clarification of his claimed in-service stressors.
The deciding factor: Additional information regarding the Veteran's in-service stressors is needed to determine if they are credible and whether any current psychiatric disability is related to service.
