Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a new medical determination to adequately support any conclusion reached by the Centralized Eligibility and Appeals Team (CEAT), including proper consideration of relevant medical evidence.
The deciding factor: The November 2022 CEAT opinion is found to be legally inadequate due to its conclusory nature and lack of rationale, as it does not address findings from the Veteran Functional Assessment Instrument (VFAI) and other corroborating evidence.
