Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the Veteran's claim for service connection for depression, including as secondary to other service-connected conditions. The Board found that the VA examination was inadequate and ordered a new examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found the March 2022 VA examination inadequate because it did not address whether the Veteran's depression was aggravated by his service-connected rhinitis and tinnitus.
