Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder, claimed as PTSD. The Veteran's claim has been expanded to include other psychiatric disorders diagnosed besides PTSD.
The deciding factor: The medical opinion did not substantially comply with the Board's remand directives and lacked a reasoned explanation.
