Remanded (sent back)
The claim for individual unemployability due to PTSD and other service-connected disabilities is remanded. The Board needs more information about the veteran's functional impairments.
The deciding factor: The VA examination did not fully address the veteran's social and occupational impairment related to his ability to maintain substantially gainful employment.
