Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for colon cancer to address duty-to-assist errors, including obtaining a new medical opinion and confirming exposure to burn pits.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to unaddressed claims of burn pit exposure and an inadequate medical nexus opinion.
