Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of psychiatric disorders, including PTSD, depression, anxiety, adjustment disorder, and alcohol use disorder. The Veteran's case will be reviewed again with new evidence considered.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not address all relevant medical records and diagnoses, leading to an incomplete examination report.
