Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for an addendum VA opinion addressing the nature and etiology of the Veteran's diabetes, including whether it is related to active-duty disease, event, or injury, and whether it was caused or aggravated by service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The existing opinions are found inadequate as they do not address aggravation and are conclusory without well-reasoned explanations.
