Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for hypertension, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and bilateral hearing loss due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: The AOJ's decisions were impacted by incomplete ILER and TERA reports that did not document all toxic exposures the Veteran was potentially exposed to during his active service. An addendum opinion is necessary for the claims of hypertension, prostate cancer, bladder cancer, and bilateral hearing loss.
