Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder due to a lack of evidence and the need for a VA examination.
The deciding factor: VA still owes the Veteran an examination to determine whether he has an existing psychiatric disorder, and if so, whether it is at least approximately as likely as not related to an in-service injury, disease, or experience, or, if not, whether it was caused or aggravated by a service-connected disability.
