Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial rating in excess of 50 percent for other specified trauma and stressor related disorder with traumatic brain injury due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to obtain non-VA records that were noted to have been scanned into VA's Vista imaging, as the AOJ has not fulfilled its predecisional duty to assist.
