Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a mental health condition to obtain a new VA examination that adequately addresses all reported symptoms and any diagnosed adjustment disorder.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 medical opinion was deemed inadequate due to its failure to reconcile with an existing diagnosis of adjustment disorder and document all reported symptoms.
