Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD. The Board found that the VA examination was inadequate and ordered a new examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found the initial VA examination inadequate because it did not consider all relevant factors, such as in-service sleep problems and stressor events.
