Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability for further evidentiary development.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's medical opinions did not comply with the Board remand directive, as they did not address whether each confirmed diagnosis is at least as likely as not related to service.
