Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for sarcoidosis to obtain an addendum opinion addressing the etiology of the Veteran's currently diagnosed condition.
The deciding factor: The January 2024 and August 2024 VA opinions are inadequate as they impermissibly relied on a lack of documentation in the STRs or post-service treatment records, and thus a remand is necessary to correct this pre-decisional error.
