Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a medical opinion to determine if the Veteran's prostate cancer was caused by exposure to herbicides while serving in the Korean DMZ.
The deciding factor: The August 2022 VA examination did not provide an etiology opinion, and the Board found it necessary to obtain additional evidence regarding the Veteran's potential exposure to herbicides during his service.
