Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new examination to assess the severity of the Veteran's service-connected hemolytic anemia with hemoglobin C disease, as the previous VA examinations were found inadequate.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 and March 2024 VA examinations are deemed inadequate due to their failure to address symptoms related to hemolytic anemia and not considering the Veteran's history of sickle cell anemia and splenomegaly.
