Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for diabetes to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The April 2024 VA opinion is found inadequate as it did not consider the Veteran's contention regarding exposure to chemicals while in service, necessitating a new examination.
