Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to address threshold claims regarding the effective date of service connection for PTSD and other mental health disorders, as well as to reassess compensation ratings and conduct a paid and due audit.
The deciding factor: The record in actual and constructive possession of the AOJ should have demonstrated whether the Veteran's mental disorders were different conditions amenable to service connection, and if an earlier effective date for PTSD was warranted based on the evidence available at the time.
