Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for PTSD and hypertension due to a duty to assist error. The veteran will receive new medical examinations.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran had not been afforded a VA examination for PTSD and that the March 2023 VA opinion on hypertension was inadequate.
