Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for PTSD due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error regarding the verification of in-service stressors.
The deciding factor: The AOJ did not attempt to obtain credible supporting evidence that the claimed in-service stressors occurred, including seeking additional information from the Veteran or requesting investigation by the Military Records Research Center.
