Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for scleroderma to schedule a VA examination and address the Veteran's reported symptoms during active duty and periods of ACDUTRA.
The deciding factor: The February 2019 VA medical opinion was found inadequate as it did not address the Veteran's reported symptoms or periods of ACDUTRA, necessitating further development.
