Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to an initial compensable disability rating for service-connected hepatitis C due to an inadequate VA examination and medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The July 2025 JMR found that the previous VA examinations were inadequate, as they did not address certain medical questions related to the Veteran's fatigue and medication regimen.
