Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for Parkinson's Disease/essential tremors to obtain a medical opinion on whether his essential tremors are related to service, including herbicide exposure.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary as there is no medical opinion addressing the etiology of the Veteran's essential tremors in relation to service, particularly considering herbicide exposure during Vietnam service.
