Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for an additional addendum opinion to address the Veteran's claimed psychiatric disorder, including whether it is related to service and any in-service stressors.
The deciding factor: An additional addendum opinion is necessary due to the lack of a clear rationale and the need to address specific aspects of the Veteran's claims file.
