Remanded (sent back)
The claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder is remanded due to the inadequacy of a previous examination and the need for a new one.
The deciding factor: Remand is warranted because VA failed to address the Veteran's contentions concerning the adequacy of the September 2020 VA examination and the competency of the examiner, and must obtain a new examination and medical opinion.
