The Board has decided to remand the cases for further development and consideration due to deficiencies in the medical opinions provided. The Veteran's cysts, skin rashes, and rosacea are all being reviewed again as they may be related to his service-connected PTSD.
The deciding factor: The medical opinions were not based on a full review of the Veteran's medical history and did not consider his specific circumstances regarding his conditions and service connection.
