The Board has decided to remand the claims for further development due to inadequate examination reports and incomplete medical records. The Veteran's service-connected skin disability of the feet, headaches, back disability, right lower extremity neuropathy, and left lower extremity neuropathy are all in need of additional evaluation.

The deciding factor: The Board found that the examination reports were inadequate for multiple reasons, including not addressing approximate date(s) of any change(s) in severity of the service-connected skin disability. The claims for headaches and back disabilities also required further development due to incomplete medical records and lack of consideration of the Veteran's lay assertions regarding exposure to solvents.
