Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for skin cancer due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as the July 2025 VA examination did not adequately address the Veteran's risk factors and UV exposure during service.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary because the previous examination did not conduct an adequate analysis of the Veteran's individual risk factors and UV exposure during service compared to after service.
