Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for traumatic brain injury (TBI), anxiety, and depression due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error in the August 2021 rating decision.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to obtain an addendum from an appropriate clinician addressing whether the Veteran's TBI disability was caused or aggravated by service-connected disabilities, as well as to address the Veteran's competent report regarding the onset and continuity of TBI symptoms since his service.
