Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claim for service connection of bilateral eye macular degeneration to obtain additional medical evidence regarding its relationship to the Veteran's active service and his service-connected COPD, as well as any toxic exposure risk activity during service.
The deciding factor: Further medical guidance is needed to address the etiology of the Veteran's bilateral eye disability in accordance with the PACT Act due to a lack of an examination addressing aggravation and TERA participation.
