Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of an initial disability rating in excess of 50 percent for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD with anxiety and depression, due to inadequate VA examinations.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as both previous VA examinations failed to consider relevant records and a new examination is required to estimate the current severity of the Veteran's condition.
