Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for melanocytic nevus with adjacent lentigo of the neck, claimed as skin cancer, for readjudication due to new and relevant evidence.
The deciding factor: New evidence regarding the Veteran's participation in the cleanup of the Enewetak Atoll was received since the June 2023 rating decision and tends to prove or disprove a matter at issue within the claim.
