Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, due to incomplete evidence and a need for additional VA examination.
The deciding factor: The September 2020 VA examination was found inadequate as it did not address all diagnosed psychiatric disorders and was based on an inaccurate factual predicate.
