Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal for an in-person examination to determine the current severity of the Veteran's service-connected narcolepsy and to address the issue of entitlement to a total disability rating based upon individual employability due to service-connected disability.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 VA examination is inadequate as it lacks information on the frequency of 'seizures' or cataplexy experienced by the Veteran, necessitating an additional examination.
