Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for prostate cancer and metastasis of carcinoma of the prostate into the cervical region, to include as due to tactical herbicide exposure, for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record does not document any substantive response regarding the existence of records or other information from the Army FOIA office, nor HC. Therefore, a remand is required to ensure that all necessary steps have been taken to obtain this information.
