Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim of service connection for PTSD for further development, as none of the VA examiners who saw the Veteran during the appeal period considered all of his pre-service, in-service, and post-service stressors.
The deciding factor: The May 2022 and November 2023 VA examiners' opinions are not probative on the issue of whether the Veteran's PTSD is related to active service due to inadequate consideration of all relevant stressors.
