Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for prostate cancer due to a pre-decisional error in the obtained medical examination and the need to verify any and all periods of service, including active duty, ACDUTRA/ADT or INACDUTRA/IDT.
The deciding factor: The examination was found inadequate as it did not address the relationship between the Veteran's TERA exposure and his prostate cancer.
