Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for an acquired psychiatric condition characterized by stress, anxiety condition, memory loss, and sleep disturbances, to include as secondary to service-connected disabilities, due to an inadequate VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA medical opinion addressing a theory of entitlement to secondary service connection for the claimed psychiatric disorder does not adequately address both causation and aggravation aspects of such claim.
