Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for an acquired psychiatric disorder, to include generalized anxiety disorder, depression, and PTSD, for a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate due to lack of rationale and credibility issues; therefore, a new examination is required.
