Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for an earlier effective date for a 100% rating of PTSD due to missing private treatment records. The Veteran will need to provide authorization and identify all relevant healthcare providers.
The deciding factor: The Board found a pre-decisional duty to assist error because pertinent private treatment records were not sought.
