Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for an additional VA examination to properly evaluate the severity of the Veteran's service-connected contact dermatitis, as the previous opinion was found inadequate.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 addendum opinion was deemed inadequate due to its speculative nature and failure to consider all procurable data regarding the frequency and duration of medication use.
