The Board has reopened the Veteran's previously denied claim of service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include as secondary to his service-connected chronic lumbar myositis. The case is remanded for further development and a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: New evidence was submitted that bears directly on the issue of service connection for the Veteran's current psychiatric condition, which he claims is related to his service-connected low back disability.
