Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal to the agency of original jurisdiction for additional development, specifically requesting an addendum medical opinion regarding the Veteran's overlapping comorbid manifestations.
The deciding factor: The previous VA examiners and private clinicians failed to provide a clear and reasoned medical explanation connecting the symptoms to either TBI or PTSD, making it impossible to determine which symptoms are attributable to each condition.
