Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matters for an updated VA psychiatric examination to assess the current severity of the Veteran's service-connected PTSD and to readjudicate the claims with all evidence received since the last prior adjudication.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequate consideration of lay statements regarding the severity of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms and evidence indicating a persistent danger of hurting himself or others, as well as for an updated examination.
