Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection for PTSD to correct errors in the duty-to-assist process, specifically an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the medical opinion did not adequately address whether the PTSD pre-existed service or was aggravated by military service.
