Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an increased initial evaluation for PTSD to correct duty to assist errors that occurred prior to the September 2021 rating decision on appeal.
The deciding factor: The examination report did not contain sufficient detail and there were unaddressed discrepancies between the Veteran's reported symptoms and the examiner's findings, as well as a failure to obtain relevant private medical records.
