Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of monoclonal gammopathy and polycythemia due to herbicide exposure. The case was returned to obtain adequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The Board found that previous medical opinions did not substantially comply with remand directives, lacking information on the correlation between the diagnoses and herbicide exposure.
