Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder due to a duty to assist error, requiring a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: The January 2023 medical opinion is inadequate as it did not address all relevant evidence and failed to consider the Veteran's multiple psychiatric diagnoses.
