Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for a thyroid disability, to include hypothyroidism, as it requires further development including a TERA examination and opinion.
The deciding factor: Further development is required to address the nature and etiology of the Veteran's thyroid disability on a direct and secondary basis, considering potential toxic exposure risk activities (TERAs) under the PACT Act.
