Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the Veteran's claim for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD and adjustment disorder with anxiety and depressed mood. The Board found that additional development is required to corroborate the Veteran's reported in-service stressors.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that the VA examination was inadequate and that additional steps are needed to corroborate the Veteran's reported stressors.
