Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain additional evidence that may allow for an earlier effective date for a 70 percent rating for PTSD.
The deciding factor: The Veteran reported relevant outstanding treatment records from about one and one-half years ago, which could potentially support an earlier effective date. The AOJ should attempt to obtain these records.
