Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an additional opinion to address whether the Veteran has any additional disabilities caused or aggravated by VA treatment on March 23, 2017.
The deciding factor: The current medical opinion does not adequately address the elements of a § 1151 claim and is therefore insufficient.
