Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of fatty liver as it requires additional development, including a VA examination and obtaining private treatment records.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA medical opinion is inadequate without a nexus opinion, and there are pre-decisional duty to assist errors that need to be remedied.
