Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an addendum opinion to address the nature and etiology of the claimed acquired psychiatric disability.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA opinion is inadequate as it focuses on symptoms rather than treatment, which is essential for evidence of continuity of symptomatology.
