Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a rating in excess of 70 percent for PTSD due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examination and March 2024 private opinion were found to be inadequate, necessitating further review by an appropriate clinician.
