Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD, due to a need to address the Veteran's in-service stressors and reevaluate the evidence.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary because the Board did not adequately address the Veteran's reported in-service sexual harassment and assault, which may be relevant to establishing service connection for PTSD.
