Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for further development to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's pancreas disability, including whether it is related to service or secondary to his service-connected diabetes mellitus type II.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was deemed inadequate due to incomplete review of medical records and failure to address the specific questions posed by the Board regarding causation and aggravation.
