Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of an eye condition is remanded. The Board found errors in the VA's duty to assist and ordered a new examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the August 2022 VA examination opinion was inadequate because it did not consider all relevant evidence, including lay reports and specific in-service notations of blurred vision.
