Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain a VA examination to determine whether there is a current diagnosis for lichen planus and its etiology.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that it is beyond its purview to determine whether lichen planus is always present, can flare-up, or can resolve without an opinion from a medical professional.
