Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for a higher disability rating for PTSD, service connection for TBI, and special monthly compensation based on aid and attendance. The Board needs more evidence, including private treatment records and a VA examination for TBI.
The deciding factor: The Board identified pre-decisional duty to assist errors and the need for further medical examinations.
