Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for Parkinson's disease due to a lack of evidence regarding herbicide exposure during his National Guard duty from 1963 to 1968.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors, specifically the failure to obtain relevant National Guard records.
