Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a VA Housebound and Aid and Attendance examination to determine if the Veteran's service-connected PTSD with TBI renders him permanently housebound.
The deciding factor: VA failed to obtain an examination to assess the Veteran's housebound status, which was required given the evidence of record.
