Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, depression, anxiety, and other specified trauma and stressor related disorder, due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 medical opinion was found inadequate as it did not discuss the Veteran's diagnosed major depressive disorder and provided unclear nexus opinions for other psychiatric disorders.
