Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claim for service connection of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma to obtain a new medical opinion that addresses the combined effect of all conceded toxic exposure risk activities.
The deciding factor: The previous medical opinion was inadequate as it did not consider the synergistic, combined effect of all conceded TERAs and relied on the lack of literature supporting a clinical nexus.
