Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of scarring on the nose is remanded. The VA will schedule a new examination to determine if the scar is related to military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's affidavit and other evidence met the low threshold to warrant a VA examination, which was not previously conducted.
