Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for skin cancer to obtain an addendum medical opinion, as the September 2024 VA examination is deemed inadequate.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA medical opinion is considered inadequate due to a lack of treatment records or pathology reports in the claim file at the time of the examination, and because it did not consider all potential exposures during military service.
