Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for an acquired psychological condition (to include PTSD and major depressive disorder) to obtain a more thorough medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The current medical opinions are found inadequate as they do not adequately address all of the Veteran's reported in-service stressors or provide sufficient rationale for their conclusions.
