Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for PTSD because it could not verify if the stressor (a miscarriage) occurred during active duty. The VA needs to obtain more service records.
The deciding factor: The decision was based on the lack of documentation verifying the period of active duty when the claimed in-service stressor occurred.
