Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an increased rating for PTSD and depression, as well as a TDIU claim, due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: A record from a private psychiatrist was scanned into VistA imaging but not associated with the claims file, necessitating a remand to secure the record.
