Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection for PTSD is remanded. The Board found that the VA Regional Office could not make an informed decision because it did not know why the Veteran cancelled his mental health examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found a duty-to-assist error in scheduling the examination and remanded to correct this error.
