Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for major depression, personality disorder, and severe anxiety due to an inadequate VA examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: The December 2024 VA opinion was found to be inadequate as it did not consider relevant lay statements and treatment records in the claims file.
