Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an acquired psychiatric disorder other than PTSD to cure pre-decisional duty to assist errors, including obtaining SSA records and a more nuanced etiological opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to missing evidence and need for additional medical opinions that properly address the theories of entitlement and rationales.
