Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an acquired psychiatric disability to obtain a more adequate medical opinion that considers the Veteran's lay statements of in-service incurrence and combat service.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 medical opinion was found inadequate as it did not consider the Veteran's combat service or lay statements regarding his symptoms during service.
