Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is remanded to ensure compliance with the terms of a Joint Motion for Partial Remand, specifically regarding the adequacy of a prior VA examination.
The deciding factor: The April 2023 VA examination report was found inadequate due to inconsistencies and failure to document where pain began based on visible behavior as instructed by the Board's March 2023 remand.
