Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for an additional VA examination to assess the current severity and manifestations of the Veteran's service-connected psychiatric disability.
The deciding factor: Additional development is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as the July 2018 VA examiner did not adequately address all reported symptoms.
