Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claim for service connection of pleomorphic adenoma to obtain a TERA-specific VA medical opinion, as the Veteran's assertion that he was stationed at Camp Lejeune is not substantiated and there is no evidence of radiation exposure.
The deciding factor: The lack of evidence supporting the Veteran's claims regarding his presence at Camp Lejeune and the absence of records indicating occupational exposure to ionizing radiation necessitate a remand for further development.
