Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a higher initial evaluation for the Veteran's service-connected pseudofolliculitis barbae due to insufficient evidence in the current record.
The deciding factor: Insufficient findings on the June 2024 VA examination report prevent the Board from making an informed decision regarding the severity of the Veteran's condition, necessitating a new examination.
