Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claim for a medical opinion on whether the Veteran's glioblastoma multiforme was caused or aggravated by his hypertension, which is presumed to be related to Agent Orange exposure.
The deciding factor: The evidence reasonably indicates that the cause of the Veteran's glioblastoma may be associated with service, and thus the Secretary must investigate this potential link.
