Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claims for a higher rating for PTSD and service connection for bilateral hearing loss are being sent back to the Regional Office for further review. The Board needs more information, including post-service treatment records and specific military examination forms.
The deciding factor: The Board remanded the claims due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors, specifically the lack of relevant post-service treatment records and missing military examination forms.
