Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of an increased rating for PTSD due to an inadequate VA examination that did not adequately consider all of the Veteran's symptomology.
The deciding factor: The November 2021 VA examiner failed to adequately assess the evidence of record, particularly regarding suicidal thoughts and occupational and social function impacts.
