Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for residuals of a head injury to schedule a new VA examination due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 VA examiner's opinion is found inadequate as it does not sufficiently consider the Veteran's prior medical history, specifically the September 1980 and 1984 treatment records.
