Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of allergic rhinitis to obtain an adequate medical opinion. The Veteran's service treatment records contain complaints of allergies, and a VA examination in July 2022 confirmed the diagnosis but did not find a direct cause related to military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the VA medical opinion insufficient because it was based on the absence of documentation and an inaccurate review of the claims file.
