The Board has remanded the case for additional development, including obtaining VA and private treatment records, as well as SSA records. The veteran's claim of service connection for a psychiatric disability other than PTSD is being considered, along with his TDIU claim.
The deciding factor: The claims are being held in abeyance due to the need for additional evidence related to the new and material evidence requirement for the service connection claim.
