Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to service connection for a skin condition and scars due to an inadequate VA examination and medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinions are found to be inadequate as they fail to address evidence or facts noted on record, particularly regarding the Veteran's preexisting right chin scar (keloid) and other skin conditions during service.
