Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error and determine whether the Veteran served within the Republic of Vietnam.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to errors in the Board's previous decision, specifically regarding the location of the USS Intrepid on November 6, 1967, and the potential exposure to herbicide agents.
