Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD; a left knee disability; and a lumbar spine disability due to insufficient development of evidence.
The deciding factor: Insufficient development of evidence regarding the Veteran's stressor incident and the VA medical opinions not being provided by a physician as directed in the March 2023 remand.
