Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for skin cancer, to include as due to ionizing radiation exposure, for further development and consideration.
The deciding factor: The evidence does not establish in-service exposure to ionizing radiation or a sufficient nexus between the Veteran's current skin cancer and his military service, necessitating additional development before a final decision can be made.
