CompFox AI Summary

The Appeals Board remanded the case for further development of the record concerning the applicant's claimed injury to psyche/PTSD. The prior findings were not based on substantial evidence due to an inadequate medical history and stale opinions from the evaluating physician, Dr. Glaser. The Board ordered a new evaluation by an Agreed Medical Evaluator or a regular physician to address the complex psychological issues, including PTSD, substance abuse, and potential organic brain injury. After this evaluation, the matter will return to the judge for a new decision incorporating all relevant findings.
