Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial compensable disability rating for service-connected contact dermatitis to correct a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA examination did not adequately consider the Veteran's symptomology associated with his contact dermatitis, and thus, an adequate examination is necessary during an active phase of the condition.
