Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service-connection for kidney cancer and renal cell carcinoma to obtain a medical examination and opinion in compliance with the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxins Act of 2022 (PACT Act).
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to the need for a VA examination and medical opinion addressing the possibility of a nexus between the claimed disabilities and the Veteran's alleged exposure to lead-based paint during service, as well as to more specifically identify any in-service toxic exposures.
