Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a bilateral eye condition and bilateral lower extremity edema with venous insufficiency to allow for further development of the evidence.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA examination was found inadequate, and new evidence has been received warranting readjudication of the claim for a bilateral eye condition. A TERA examination is also required for the lower extremity edema with venous insufficiency claim.
