Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal for the purpose of obtaining relevant outstanding treatment records to evaluate the severity of the PTSD/MDD throughout the appeal period, including during the one-year look back period.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to a duty-to-assist error regarding missing VA treatment records that could impact the evaluation of the Veteran's disability claims.
