Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for readjudication of a claim for service connection for nightmare disorder, which was reasonably encompassed by an original claim for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim for service connection for nightmare disorder was reasonably encompassed by his original claim for PTSD and the September 1997 rating decision did not explicitly adjudicate this claim.
