Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for PTSD to develop the reported stressor. The AOJ did not assist in verifying the stressor, so it must be corroborated.
The deciding factor: The AOJ committed a pre-decisional error by not attempting to verify the Veteran's reported in-service stressor.
