Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a rating in excess of 30 percent for an acquired psychiatric disorder and entitlement to TDIU due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional duty to assist error occurred because VA failed to attempt to obtain private treatment records identified by the Veteran, which has a reasonable possibility of substantiating his claim.
