Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA examination to determine whether the Veteran's neurocognitive disorder is related to his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The November 2018 VA opinion was found inadequate as it did not adequately address potential causation or aggravation by the service-connected disabilities, and the examiner did not consider medication prescribed for those conditions.
