Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to service connection for colon cancer and kidney cancer due to an inadequate credibility determination and a failure to adequately address the Veteran's duties and responsibilities while stationed in Puerto Rico.
The deciding factor: The Court found that the Board failed to provide adequate reasons or bases for its determination regarding the Veteran's credibility and overlooked relevant evidence, necessitating further development.
