Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claim for service connection of multiple myeloma to obtain a medical opinion in compliance with the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error, specifically not obtaining an appropriate medical examination and/or opinion addressing the possibility of a nexus between the Veteran's multiple myeloma and his in-service exposure to toxins, including benzene, at Parris Island.
