Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for prostate cancer to obtain a new VA opinion regarding its relationship to his active service, including exposure to burn pits.
The deciding factor: The previous VA opinion was deemed inadequate due to reliance on the absence of medical literature and failure to consider direct causation.
