Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an increased rating for PTSD, mild, due to inadequate VA examination and outstanding private treatment records.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA examiner's report was found inadequate as it failed to acknowledge accurate history and lay evidence, and there may be pertinent private treating records that were not available for the VA examiner's review.
