Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error and the need for a VA examination.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to verify the Veteran's reported stressors and to provide him with a VA examination as he has not been afforded one in connection with this claim.
