Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a nasal disorder to obtain a more detailed medical opinion regarding its etiology, specifically addressing whether it preexisted service and was aggravated during service.
The deciding factor: The current VA examination is deemed inadequate due to uncertainties in the Veteran's medical history and the need for a more comprehensive opinion considering all potential exposures.
