Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an adequate medical opinion regarding the Veteran's diagnosed post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and major depressive disorder (MDD).
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinion of record is inadequate, as it appears to be based on an incorrect factual understanding of the criteria for service connection for conditions other than PTSD.
