Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA examination to determine the current nature and likely etiology of the Veteran's diagnosed Type 2 diabetes mellitus with ketoacidosis, including whether it is proximately due to or aggravated by the service-connected obstructive sleep apnea or eczema.
The deciding factor: The opinions provided in the previous examinations were inadequate as they relied on an inaccurate factual premise and did not address the Veteran's submitted medical literature.
