Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for neuropathy of all four extremities due to a need for additional development, including verification of claimed nerve agent exposure and obtaining an updated medical opinion.
The deciding factor: Additional development is needed to verify the Veteran's claimed nerve agent exposure and to ensure compliance with prior remand directives regarding the etiology of his current bilateral upper and lower extremity neuropathy.
