Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for allergic rhinitis due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, requiring an adequate medical examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 VA examination was found inadequate as it did not consider historical evidence of allergic rhinitis and provided general opinions without specific facts pertaining to the Veteran's condition.
