Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a secondary service connection for chronic kidney disease, as it finds the November 2023 VA medical examiner's opinion to be inadequate and requires an addendum opinion addressing aggravation.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 VA medical examiner did not provide an adequate opinion on whether the Veteran's chronic kidney disease was aggravated by her long-term, prescribed usage of NSAIDs for her service-connected conditions.
