Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of service connection for the Veteran's cause of death, as there is a pre-decisional duty to assist error regarding the Veteran's prostate cancer diagnosis and treatment.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to an unaddressed assertion that the Veteran had prostate cancer which may have been related to his later development of meningioma and ultimately his cause of death, necessitating a medical opinion.
