Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of type 2 diabetes mellitus due to herbicide agent exposure, not under the PACT Act, is remanded. The Board needs more time and information to confirm the veteran's herbicide agent exposure.
The deciding factor: The Board found that sufficient time has not elapsed to allow for a search by the RRC, or for VA to receive a response.
