The Board has decided to remand the claims for PTSD and hemorrhoids due to the lack of relevant treatment records. The Veteran is required to provide any outstanding VA or private medical records, particularly from psychiatrist A.N. and Dr. N.T., which are crucial for assessing his conditions.
The deciding factor: The decision was made based on the absence of relevant treatment records that could help assess the current severity of the Veteran's service-connected conditions.
