Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for an examination to properly assess the Veteran's inguinal hernia repair scar and reported residuals of his inguinal hernia repair.
The deciding factor: The August 2019 VA examination was inadequate as it did not address the Veteran's reported complications or fully develop his claimed residuals, necessitating a remand for further evaluation.
