Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for insomnia, PTSD, and depression due to a need for additional development.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as the Veteran's lay statements meet the low threshold of McLendon v. Nicholson, 20 Vet. App. 79 (2006), requiring a VA examination.
