Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for hypothyroidism due to in-service herbicide exposure to ensure all necessary evidence is obtained and properly developed.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to incomplete personnel records, lack of verification of in-service herbicide exposure, and failure to conduct an ILER inquiry.
