Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for diabetes mellitus type II, to include as secondary to service connected PTSD, for an adequate etiology opinion.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA etiology opinion is insufficient and does not address whether the Veteran's diabetes mellitus type II was caused or aggravated by his PTSD.
