Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to service connection for hypertension on a basis other than the PACT Act due to an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 examiner's opinions were found to be inadequate, and additional information is needed regarding the Veteran's hypertension in relation to his service-connected conditions and herbicide exposure prior to August 10, 2022.
