Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claim for service connection of the cause of the Veteran's death to obtain a medical opinion under the PACT Act due to the Veteran's exposure at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: A medical opinion is required as the Veteran was exposed to toxic substances during his service, and this exposure may be related to his fatal hypertensive cardiovascular disease.
