The Board denied service connection for a memory loss disorder and remanded the claims for right knee pain and fibromyalgia, claimed as chronic pain due to inadequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The evidence did not show a current disability or functional impairment of earning capacity related to a distinct neurocognitive / memory loss disorder. The August 2024 VA examination was found inadequate in addressing the Veteran's lay statements and the remanded claims require further development due to inadequate medical opinions.
