Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for service-connected other specified trauma and stressor related disorder, and entitlement to service connection for bilateral hearing loss due to further development.
The deciding factor: Further development is necessary to obtain potentially relevant VA treatment records and to address deficiencies in the June 2023 VA examination regarding the Veteran's claim for service connection for bilateral hearing loss.
