Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for PTSD personal trauma to correct pre-decisional duty-to-assist errors, specifically to schedule a VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error in not providing a VA examination despite the Veteran's diagnosis of PTSD being conceded.
