Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD and other specified trauma and stressor related disorder, due to inadequate VA examination opinions and missing evidence from a workers' compensation claim.
The deciding factor: Remand is required because the AOJ did not attempt to obtain relevant workers' compensation treatment records and the VA examination and etiology opinions are inadequate.
