Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for diabetes mellitus type II to schedule a new VA examination due to an insufficient May 2023 medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 VA medical opinion is insufficient as it lacks detailed rationale and cited references, making it inadequate for the Board to render a fully informed decision.
