Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for PTSD due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 VA examination report was found insufficient as it did not consider the lay evidence of record regarding the Veteran's mental health symptomatology and provided no mental health diagnosis, despite adequate reported stressors meeting Criterion A for PTSD.
