Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to obtain additional medical opinions regarding the Veteran's service-connected disabilities and their combined impact on his ability to work.
The deciding factor: The October 2025 examiner did not adequately address how the combined impacts of the Veteran's service-connected conditions could affect his ability to find and maintain substantially gainful employment, and there is a need for an addendum opinion regarding the Veteran's mental health diagnoses.
