Remanded (sent back)
The appeal regarding entitlement to service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder is remanded due to the need for a more thorough VA examination.
The deciding factor: The June 2023 VA examination was found inadequate as it failed to consider the Veteran's May 2023 lay statements, and thus, a new examination is required.
