Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new etiology opinion regarding the Veteran's thrombocytopenia, as the previous examination did not provide an adequate opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to the lack of an adequate opinion addressing the etiology of the Veteran's thrombocytopenia in relation to in-service toxic exposure risk activity (TERA).
