Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a disability rating in excess of 10 percent for hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism, and toxic adenoma of the thyroid to obtain an adequate medical opinion regarding the residuals of the Veteran's hypothyroidism.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA examination was inadequate as it did not consider the Veteran's contentions of current symptoms or a private medical opinion provided in April 2024, and thus, an addendum opinion is required.
