Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a psychiatric disorder, to include PTSD, as well as eligibility for treatment under 38 U.S.C. � 1702, due to outstanding SSA records and an inadequate medical opinion regarding aggravation of the Veteran's psychiatric condition by his service-connected tinnitus.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary to obtain relevant SSA records and a more thorough medical opinion addressing whether the Veteran's psychiatric disorder is aggravated by his service-connected tinnitus.
