Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for a higher rating of tinea versicolor because the VA examination did not fully address all relevant diagnostic criteria.
The deciding factor: The June 2021 VA Report lacked information regarding the signs and symptoms of the Veteran's tinea versicolor, and the AOJ erred in failing to obtain an additional examination prior to adjudication of the Veteran's claim.
