Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for a salivary gland disability to obtain an addendum medical opinion that addresses the inadequacies of previous opinions.
The deciding factor: The May 2018 and July 2020 VA medical opinions were found inadequate, as they did not address specific risk factors related to the Veteran's condition or provide a well-reasoned rationale for their conclusions.
