Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disability, to include post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), as new and relevant evidence has been received since the prior denial.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence has been received regarding the Veteran's claimed in-service stressors and current diagnoses of PTSD and anxiety disorder, necessitating a remand for further development and an updated medical opinion.
