Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for additional development to address the adequacy of a VA opinion regarding the Veteran's vision loss disability and TERA exposure.
The deciding factor: The March 2024 VA examiner provided an inadequate opinion, failing to explain what WRIISC is or how it pertains to the Veteran's condition, and did not offer an opinion on whether TERA was related to the Veteran's brain tumor.
