Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a temporary total disability rating and service connection for left breast cancer as secondary to fibrocystic breast disease due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The August 2023 VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate because it did not address whether the Veteran's breast cancer was aggravated by her service-connected fibrocystic breast disease, which is required for a secondary service connection claim.
