Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of a psychiatric disorder, to include stress and adjustment reaction, as the Veteran has not been afforded a VA examination to determine the nature and etiology of his claimed disability.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to the failure to provide the Veteran with a VA examination to determine the etiology of his claimed psychiatric disorder, which constitutes a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
