Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD and Unspecified Trauma and Stressor Related Disorder, is remanded. The Board needs more medical evidence to decide the claim.
The deciding factor: The Board remanded because a previous medical opinion was inadequate and did not address whether the diagnosed condition began during service or was caused by any in-service injury, event, or disease.
