Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the case to determine if a previous rating decision for PTSD was in error. The Veteran's claim for an increased rating for lumbosacral spine disability is not being considered.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the AOJ committed a pre-decisional duty to assist error by not adjudicating whether the February 27, 2018 rating decision was the product of CUE.
