Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for a new examination to address the severity of the Veteran's PTSD, including social impairment, and to consider additional evidence.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to the need for a new examination to fully discuss medical and lay evidence addressing the severity of the Veteran's social impairment, as well as to consider new evidence added to the claims file since the last SSOC.
