Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a new medical examination to address the Veteran's claim for service connection for sarcoidosis, as the previous VA medical opinions did not adequately connect the Veteran's in-service symptoms with his current condition.
The deciding factor: The Court found that the August 2018 and October 2022 VA examiners did not provide a sufficient rationale to determine if the Veteran's sarcoidosis is related to service, necessitating a new examination.
