Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for esophageal cancer to obtain a medical opinion that adequately addresses all evidence of record, including documents related to exposure at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to pre-decisional duty to assist errors regarding the adequacy of the VA examination and consideration of submitted evidence.
