Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the service connection claim for inclusion body myositis to obtain an addendum medical opinion addressing whether the condition is related to active service, including conceded exposure to an herbicide agent.
The deciding factor: An addendum medical opinion is needed as the existing opinions are insufficient and do not address the Veteran's specific circumstances.
