Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a psychiatric disability, to include posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as an examination and medical opinion are necessary.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 VA examination and medical opinion were found inadequate due to not addressing all prior diagnoses and the etiology of emetophobia.
