Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a lung disability to obtain an adequate medical opinion regarding its etiology, including considering herbicide exposure during service.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 VA examiner's opinion was deemed inadequate due to insufficient rationale and failure to address all evidence as directed by the Board.
