Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for glaucoma due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, requiring further development including a medical opinion with rationale.
The deciding factor: The examiner's lack of rationale in the May 2024 opinion necessitated a remand for additional evidence and clarification.
