Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claims for service connection for bladder cancer, hypertension, anxiety, depression, and erectile dysfunction due to a need for further evidence regarding herbicide exposure in Korea.
The deciding factor: Further research is needed to determine the location of the Veteran's unit during his time in Korea to assess potential herbicide exposure, which is significant to the service connection claims.
