Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD and adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and chronic depressed mood. The Board found that a previous VA examination was inadequate and ordered a new examination to determine the etiology of the claimed condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found the previous VA examination inadequate because it did not provide an opinion on the relationship between the veteran's diagnosed adjustment disorder and his service.
