Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for PTSD to the AOJ for further development, including verification of a claimed in-service stressor.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to consider both timeframes provided by the Veteran and did not seek unit records from the Air Force Historical Research Agency at Maxwell AFB or verify with AFOSI whether there was a murder/suicide event that occurred at Eglin AFB in November 2011 or February 2012.
