Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an increased rating for other specified trauma and stressor related disorder due to a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error.
The deciding factor: The RO failed to consider updated VA treatment records that were reasonably identified by the Veteran, requiring a remand for readjudication.
