Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of vitiligo to obtain an addendum opinion considering all potential toxic exposure risk activities, including Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was inadequate as it failed to fully address the Veteran's TERA and considered only one possible exposure without considering synergistic effects.
