Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for increased ratings and TDIU due to incomplete evidence regarding the severity of the Veteran's bilateral hip disabilities and PTSD, as well as a lack of VA treatment records since July 2020.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to address an apparent discrepancy in the April 2018 VA hip examination and to ensure all relevant private and VA treatment records are obtained for a holistic analysis of the Veteran's PTSD symptoms.
