Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for other specified trauma- and stressor-related disorder due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error in verifying the Veteran's claimed stressor.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to research the correct dates for the Veteran's claimed stressor, as the previously searched dates were inconsistent with the dates reported by the Veteran.
