Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD and bipolar disorder, due to a need for additional evidence and examination.
The deciding factor: A new examination is necessary as the previous opinion provided was found inadequate. The Board also needs to fully investigate the Veteran's contention that he was assaulted with weapons and injured in the March 2022 incident.
