Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for PTSD to correct an error by the AOJ in failing to adequately assist the Veteran in verifying his claimed stressors.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that a duty to assist error occurred, as the AOJ did not adequately assist the Veteran in attempting to corroborate his claimed stressor events.
