Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for pancreatic cystadenoma, stomach ulcer, and prostate cancer to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors due to the AOJ's failure to provide VA examinations prior to the decision on appeal.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to satisfy the duty to assist by providing a medical examination that was not provided at the time of the initial denial, as required under 38 U.S.C. § 5103A and McLendon v. Nicholson, 20 Vet. App. 79 (2006).
