Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new examination to address the private medical report and determine if there is any diagnosed mental health disorder related to service.
The deciding factor: The VA examination was found inadequate as it did not consider the private medical report, which is required for a proper adjudication of the claim.
