Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of an acquired psychiatric disorder secondary to tinea versicolor. The Veteran will undergo a VA examination to determine if the psychiatric disorder is related to the service-connected skin condition.
The deciding factor: A VA examination is required because there is insufficient competent medical evidence on file for the Secretary to make a decision on the claim.
