Remanded (sent back)

The appeal for a higher rating of traumatic brain injury (TBI) with cognitive disorder and vertigo is remanded. The Board found the VA medical opinion inadequate and requires further evaluation.

The deciding factor: The Board agreed that the May 2023 VA medical opinion did not comply with the April 2023 remand directives, warranting a remand for an addendum opinion.
