The Board remands the claims for service connection for a heart condition and multiple myeloma to verify the Veteran's alleged in-service exposure to herbicide agents.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error and allow the AOJ to refer the case to an appropriate records research repository, including the U.S. Army, the VA Military Records Research Center (MRRC), or National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), for any information that this organization can provide to corroborate the claimed exposure.
