Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for skin cancer, including squamous cell carcinoma and basal cell carcinoma, to ensure an adequate VA examination is conducted.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA opinion was found inadequate due to its failure to address certain aspects of the Veteran's medical history and potential in-service exposure.
