Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a psychiatric disability, to include unspecified personality disorder (anxiety, depression, and PTSD), due to insufficient evidence regarding in-service stressors and an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to provide the Veteran with notice required for PTSD claims under 38 C.F.R. § 3.304(f)(5) based on personal assaults and to obtain a more adequate medical opinion.
