Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, anxiety, and depression, for a VA examination to determine the nature of any psychiatric disorder and whether it is related to service.
The deciding factor: Remand required due to the low threshold met based on evidence reviewed by the AOJ in the March 2024 rating decision, necessitating an examination to ensure compliance with the duty to assist.
