Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, beyond adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood, due to an incomplete examination report.
The deciding factor: The examiner's opinion statement was incomplete, particularly regarding irritability, and did not address all potential psychiatric disorders reasonably encompassed by the Veteran's claims.
