Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for a respiratory disability and back disability to conduct appropriate examinations and correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to insufficient evidence regarding the etiology or pathophysiology of the Veteran's claimed disabilities, including their relationship to toxic exposure during service.
