Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for PTSD to obtain a medical opinion on the nature and etiology of the Veteran's claimed PTSD in relation to service.
The deciding factor: Remand is warranted as the August 2021 VA examination did not provide an opinion addressing the etiology of the Veteran's claimed PTSD in relation to any identified or claimed stressors in service or consider the Veteran's statements describing continued symptoms relating to PTSD since separation from service.
