Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for further development, including obtaining additional service records and medical opinions to address the Veteran's alleged exposure to asbestos and the aggravation of his pre-existing conditions during service.
The deciding factor: Further development is necessary due to lack of substantial compliance with previous directives and new theories of entitlement.
