Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder, claimed as PTSD, to schedule a VA examination due to insufficient evidence and the need for further development.
The deciding factor: The lack of available records to verify the Veteran's in-service stressor incident necessitates a VA examination to determine the etiology of any currently diagnosed acquired psychiatric disorder.
