Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to an initial rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD, an initial rating in excess of 40 percent for IVDS with erectile dysfunction, and a total disability rating based upon individual unemployability (TDIU) due to service-connected disabilities for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board failed to provide adequate reasons or bases for the denial of higher ratings and remanded the issues for additional evidence and examination.
