Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for persistent depressive disorder due to additional development of the record being necessary.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary because the failure to adequately develop the Veteran's claims of stressful in-service incidents prior to the rating decision on appeal constitutes a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
