Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for a higher rating than 30 percent for hypogammaglobulinemia is remanded to obtain an addendum opinion regarding the severity of IVIG transfusions.
The deciding factor: A medical opinion from a VA examiner is needed as the Board made an impermissible medical determination when it found the Veteran's IVIG transfusions are not analogous to requiring transfusions of platelets or red cells under the pre-2018 amended Diagnostic Code 7702 for a 100 percent rating.
