Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for colon cancer to obtain a new VA examination as the previous one is deemed inadequate.
The deciding factor: The January 2019 VA examination concluded there was no diagnosis of colon cancer, which is now obsolete and incorrect given recent evidence of a diagnosis in April 2019.
