Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error regarding the Veteran's submission of a Statement in Support of Claim for Service Connection for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) and an insufficient VA examination prior to the rating decision on appeal.
