Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for coronary artery disease, status post myocardial infarction, due to a lack of adequate medical evidence regarding the Veteran's exposure to asbestos during service.
The deciding factor: The May 2024 VA opinion was found inadequate as it failed to properly address submitted articles and provide a rationale for its conclusion.
