Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for an eye disability and entitlement to a total disability rating based on individual unemployability due to service-connected disability (TDIU) for correction of a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examiner's retrospective opinion is not adequate for resolution of the Veteran's appeal, as it did not address visual acuity findings or provide an opinion on incapacitating episodes in accordance with revised regulatory definitions.
