Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain a medical opinion addressing a December 2023 independent medical opinion and complete employment information.
The deciding factor: The August 2025 medical opinion is inadequate as it did not address the December 2023 IME as requested, and further development of the record is necessary for complete employment history.
