Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to a higher rating for TBI and conversion disorder, as well as a TDIU prior to October 6, 2009, due to the need for additional medical clarification.
The deciding factor: The need for an additional VA examination is necessary to clarify which specific symptoms are attributable to the Veteran's service-connected psychiatric disability in order to afford him the highest possible disability rating available under the law.
