Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an adequate VA examination and opinion to address the etiology of the Veteran's acquired psychiatric disorder, including whether it is related to service or caused by a service-connected TBI.
The deciding factor: The March 2021 VA medical opinion was found inadequate due to its failure to adequately address the Veteran's theory of entitlement and relevant medical principles.
