Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for a compensable rating for folliculitis and right hand scar. The Veteran will receive new examinations to assess the current severity of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the AOJ committed errors in not providing new VA examinations to determine the current severity of the service-connected conditions.
