Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of skin cancer, including as secondary to herbicide exposure, is remanded. The VA needs to obtain more medical records from the Veteran's treatment in the 1970s.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's claim is not yet ripe for adjudication due to missing medical records.
