Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a higher disability rating for PTSD and entitlement to TDIU due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The Board finds it necessary to remand this matter to correct a duty to assist error that occurred prior to the issuance of the December 2021 rating decision, as the VA examiner did not adequately differentiate between symptoms related to PTSD and other mental health disorders present during the appeal period.
