Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a sinus disorder and a prostate disorder due to further development required by its April 2024 directives.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary because the RO/VAMC provided an examiner with incorrect instructions regarding the standard for secondary service connection aggravation, and did not conduct a physical examination or provide a TERA opinion as requested.
