Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a fully adequate medical opinion addressing both causation and aggravation prongs of secondary service connection.
The deciding factor: Remand is needed due to deficiencies in the April 2024 VA opinion, including failure to address the aggravation prong and relevant private evidence.
