Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder and entitlement to a total disability evaluation based on individual unemployability (TDIU) due to insufficient evidence regarding the etiology of the Veteran's claimed conditions.
The deciding factor: The opinions provided by the VA examiners were found inadequate, as they did not address whether the Veteran's diagnosed personality disorder was aggravated by active duty service.
