Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD and a nervous disorder, for a new VA medical opinion that substantially complies with the terms of the March 2020 Board remand.
The deciding factor: The June 2020 VA medical opinion did not adequately address the Veteran's lay statements or provide an adequate rationale for its conclusion regarding his psychiatric disability.
