Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a new VA examination to obtain a detailed assessment of the current severity of the Veteran's pseudofolliculitis barbae with dyschromia, as the previous examination was inadequate.
The deciding factor: The previous examination did not provide adequate measurements and was unable to assess hypopigmentation beneath the Veteran's beard, rendering it non-compliant with the Board's prior remand directives.
