Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a VA skin examination conducted by a medical doctor to accurately assess the severity of the service-connected dermatitis.
The deciding factor: The examination report and addendum were found to be of limited probative value due to the examiner not being a medical doctor as requested, and thus further evaluation is needed.
