Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for PTSD and a rating in excess of 70 percent for an acquired psychiatric disability other than PTSD due to missing medical records.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to obtain relevant private treatment and community care records identified by the Veteran prior to the June 2024 rating decision, necessitating a remand to obtain these records.
