Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for prostate cancer to attempt to verify in-service exposure to herbicide agents.
The deciding factor: A pre-decisional duty-to-assist error exists as the AOJ did not make sufficient efforts to corroborate the Veteran's reported in-service exposure to herbicide agents.
