Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of diabetes to obtain a VA medical opinion that fully complies with previous remand instructions.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA medical opinion was found inadequate because it did not sufficiently address the Veteran's statements and provided medical literature regarding the relationship between rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes.
