Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a skin condition, to include eczema (atopic dermatitis), due to an inadequate VA medical opinion regarding the nature and etiology of the Veteran's skin condition in relation to his military service.
The deciding factor: The June 2025 VA examiner's opinion is found to be inadequate as it failed to address specific exposures and provide a medical rationale for the opinion, which are critical components of atopic dermatitis.
