Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a compensable initial disability rating for scar tissue due to skin cancer because the evidence is unclear regarding the extent and nature of the scar tissue.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not clearly indicate the nature and severity of the Veteran's service-connected scar tissue, necessitating further clarification through an addendum medical opinion.
