Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for an initial rating higher than 50 percent for PTSD and a TDIU due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: A new examination is needed to address the Veteran's most recent evidence regarding the impact of his PTSD on employment, as well as an opinion on the combined impact of his service-connected disabilities on employability.
