Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for type II diabetes mellitus to obtain a more comprehensive medical opinion regarding its etiology, particularly in relation to toxic exposures during active duty.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 VA examiner did not adequately address the Veteran's actual recorded toxic exposures during active-duty service, necessitating a remand for an updated examination.
