Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a higher rating for PTSD due to the Veteran's failure to report for a scheduled VA examination and the need to ensure proper procedures are followed, especially concerning homelessness.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the need to schedule a new VA examination and follow specific procedures given the Veteran's homeless status.
