Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for the Veteran's cause of death and DIC pursuant to 38 U.S.C. § 1318 due to a need for an addendum opinion regarding the relationship between the Veteran's death and his service, including exposure to herbicide agents.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need for additional evidence in the form of an addendum opinion from a clinician regarding the relationship between the Veteran's death and his service, including exposure to herbicide agents.
