Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and an anxiety condition due to a duty to assist error in obtaining adequate medical examinations.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed to obtain an adequate medical examination and opinion as the previous ones were considered inadequate, and there is no indication that the Veteran was notified of the scheduled examinations.
