Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder. The Veteran's reported in-service stressor event involving a personal assault needs verification, and additional medical opinions are required.
The deciding factor: The Board remanded because the AOJ failed to verify the Veteran's reported stressor and obtain necessary medical opinions.
