Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder to include PTSD for additional development, including obtaining outstanding records and clarifying the opinion regarding superimposed disorders.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to new evidence that warrants readjudication of the claim, and to obtain relevant medical records and clarify the examiner's opinion on the nature and etiology of the Veteran's psychiatric conditions.
