Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a new VA skin condition examination, lay statements from the Veteran and others regarding her skin disability symptoms and impact on employment, and accurate annual income information to determine eligibility for TDIU and special monthly compensation.
The deciding factor: The opinions regarding the increased rating claim do not acknowledge a review of private records or lay statements, and VA examinations have not been conducted during an active phase. Additionally, there is a need for accurate annual income information from the Veteran.
