Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for an increased rating in excess of 70 percent for an acquired psychiatric disorder, including PTSD and adjustment disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood, due to a procedural error by the agency of original jurisdiction.
The deciding factor: Remand is required because the Board erred when it failed to remand under 38 C.F.R. § 20.802(a) for a correction of an error by the agency of original jurisdiction in satisfying a regulatory duty.
