Remanded (sent back)
The Board is remanding the claim for tinea versicolor to ensure that VA fulfills its duty to assist by obtaining private medical records and potentially scheduling a new examination.
The deciding factor: Remand was necessary due to the Board's failure to ensure that VA fulfilled its duty to assist as required by 38 U.S.C. § 5103A, specifically in obtaining relevant private dermatological records.
