Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder to ensure a proper examination and etiology opinion are provided.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to insufficient evidence regarding the Veteran's claimed stressor and the need for an examination to determine the etiology of his psychiatric conditions.
