Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claims for a lung condition and low back condition to ensure compliance with the statutory duty to obtain a TERA opinion in accordance with the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxins Act of 2022 (PACT Act) and to provide an appropriate VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to potential toxic exposure during service and failure to provide a VA examination for both conditions, which may have a reasonable possibility of aiding in substantiating the claims.
