Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for chronic urticaria for the period prior to August 4, 2014, due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The July 2023 VA examination is inadequate for rating purposes and did not address whether the Veteran's medications used prior to August 4, 2014, constituted systemic therapy like or similar to corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive drugs.
