Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for hypertension and prostate cancer to verify the Veteran's claimed exposure to herbicide agents in the DMZ.
The deciding factor: Remand is warranted due to a need to verify the Veteran's claimed exposure to herbicide agents while stationed in Daegu, South Korea, and on off-duty visits to the DMZ.
