Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an acquired psychological disorder, to include panic disorder, as the August 2023 VA examination is found inadequate and a new examination is required.
The deciding factor: The medical opinion provided was deemed inadequate due to its failure to address all relevant theories of service connection, including direct service connection and aggravation by service-connected conditions.
