Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new medical opinion as the previous one was found inadequate.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 medical opinion did not adequately address the Veteran's lay assertions and service treatment records, and thus failed to provide a sufficient rationale for its conclusion.
