Remanded (sent back)
The case is remanded to ensure compliance with the prior remand instructions, including obtaining a VA examination during an active exacerbation of the Veteran's pseudofolliculitis barbae and addressing the rating criteria for residual scars associated with PFB.
The deciding factor: Remand required due to insufficiencies in previous examinations and development, as well as additional evidence received since the last adjudication.
