Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for prostate cancer due to a duty to assist error, requiring further development of the record and an adequate VA examination or opinion.
The deciding factor: Further development is required as there has been a duty to assist error prior to issuance of a rating decision, necessitating an opinion on the nature and etiology of the Veteran's prostate cancer.
