Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, for an addendum VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to obtain a more detailed medical opinion regarding the etiology of the appellant's acquired psychiatric disorder, as the previous opinion did not adequately address the claimed in-service stressors.
