Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the service connection claim for a heart disorder due to the need for clarification regarding the Veteran's participation in a toxic exposure risk activity and an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The decision is based on the need for further development, including verification of the Veteran's participation in a TERA and obtaining an adequate VA medical opinion.
