Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an earlier effective date for a 100 percent disability rating for PTSD to allow VA to obtain outstanding private treatment records.
The deciding factor: A remand is required due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, specifically the failure to follow up on a request for authorization and release of private health care providers' records.
