Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for diabetes mellitus type II, to include as secondary to claimed herbicide exposure, due to a need for further development of the record.
The deciding factor: Further development is necessary to verify the Veteran's presence in Vietnam and whether his service qualifies for presumptive service connection based on herbicide exposure.
