Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for readjudication as new and relevant evidence was received, broadening the scope of the claim to include an acquired psychiatric disorder variously diagnosed as PTSD.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence showing a diagnosis other than PTSD was secured by VA following the prior denial of the Veteran's claim, warranting readjudication of the claim in its broader scope.
