Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA examination to address a pre-decisional duty to assist error regarding the Veteran's headaches from fuel exposure.
The deciding factor: The January 2023 opinion is inadequate because it failed to consider all applicable deployments and the synergistic, combined effect of toxic risk exposures.
