Remanded (sent back)
The appeal is remanded to obtain a more thorough medical opinion on whether the Veteran's pancreatic cancer was caused by exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The Board found the initial medical opinion inadequate as it did not sufficiently explain the relationship between specific chemicals in Camp Lejeune water and the Veteran's pancreatic cancer.
