Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial increased rating for a left thigh muscle injury due to a laceration because additional evidence is needed regarding the impact of medications on the severity of the disability.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary to obtain further medical opinion regarding the ameliorative effects of medication on the Veteran's left thigh disability as of the June 2023 examination.
