Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD (excluding unspecified depressive disorder), headaches, and bilateral knee conditions to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error by providing sufficient examinations and medical opinions.
The deciding factor: Insufficient evidence exists to determine the etiology of the claimed conditions; therefore, further examination is necessary.
