Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and tinnitus due to a lack of evidence regarding the Veteran's failure to report for scheduled VA examinations.
The deciding factor: Remand is required because there is no indication that the Veteran was notified in writing or by phone of the date, time, and location of the VA examinations, possibly because such examinations were never scheduled in the first place.
