Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claim for a thyroid condition, other than hypothyroidism, to obtain an additional etiology opinion that adequately addresses direct service connection and the PACT Act requirements.
The deciding factor: The previous medical opinion did not provide adequate evaluations required by the Board's prior remand instructions and failed to consider all toxic exposure risk activities (TERAs) including those related to Camp Lejeune exposure.
