Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied an initial rating in excess of 30 percent for PTSD and remanded the claims for service connection for sleep apnea, hypertension, and gout.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's symptoms did not meet the criteria for a higher rating for PTSD. Additional development is necessary to determine if there may be a nexus between the claimed conditions and service or service-connected disabilities.
