Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claims for service connection for neuropathy of both lower extremities to provide an adequate VA examination under the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 VA examination was found inadequate due to lack of references in the medical literature and reliance on the absence of pre-2010 evidence, which is insufficient for a definitive opinion.
