Any board of review shall:

  • review medical evidence of the Department of Veterans Affairs or a civilian health care provider presented by the former member, and
  • review the case with a rebuttable presumption in favor of the former member that post-traumatic stress disorder or traumatic brain injury materially contributed to the circumstances resulting in the discharge of a lesser characterization.
