Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA examination to assess the severity of the Veteran's service-connected traumatic brain injury (TBI) as the previous examination was deemed inadequate.
The deciding factor: The March 2023 VA examination report indicated that the Veteran had yet to undergo neuropsychological testing, which is now required to accurately assess the severity of his TBI.
