Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disability is remanded because the VA did not obtain a sufficient medical opinion. The case will be reviewed again after further development.
The deciding factor: The Board found the medical opinion inadequate as it was conclusory and did not address the proper standard.
