Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for PTSD to attempt to verify the Veteran's in-service stressor.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that it was a pre-decisional duty to assist error not to attempt to verify the reported in-service stressor, and further development is needed before a VA examination can be scheduled.
