Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder is remanded. The Board found that the VA medical opinions were incomplete and did not adequately address the Veteran's claims.
The deciding factor: The Board determined that a duty to assist error occurred prior to the August 2024 rating decision on appeal, warranting a remand for further development of evidence.
