Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for an increased disability rating for left eye, retinal detachment and cataract. The Veteran will undergo a new VA examination to assess the current severity of his condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that an additional VA examination should have been obtained based on pre-decisional evidence indicating a potential worsening of the Veteran's condition.
