Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an eyes/vision disability, including as secondary to service-connected type II diabetes (DM), for a more adequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The previous examination did not address both causation and aggravation of the nonservice-connected condition, which is required for an adequate opinion on secondary service connection.
