Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for the Veteran's cause of death for further development, including obtaining a new medical opinion that addresses the evidence of record more completely.
The deciding factor: The need for a new medical opinion is warranted due to the inadequacy of the previous one and the specific instructions from the United States Court of Appeals for Veterans Claims (CAVC).
