Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for adjustment disorder with anxiety to correct a duty to assist error, requiring a new VA examination and an adequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA examiner's opinion was found to be inadequate due to lack of rationale and documentation of stressors.
