Remanded (sent back)
The claims for service connection for lung cancer and brain cancer, as well as the claim for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU), are remanded to ensure compliance with Board remand instructions and obtain an addendum opinion regarding potential toxic exposure.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to the RO not readjudicating the claims after receiving additional evidence, as well as the need for a TERA examination given the Veteran's participation in a toxic exposure risk activity during service.
