Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a non-specific neurological disability, also claimed as Parkinsonism, to schedule a new VA examination with appropriate diagnostic testing.
The deciding factor: Further evaluation is necessary due to the need for a more thorough and targeted assessment by a neurology specialist, particularly in light of the Veteran's potential exposure to herbicide agents during service.
