Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for further development, specifically to determine the relationship between the fatal metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma and active service including exposure to Camp Lejeune contaminated water and asbestos.
The deciding factor: Further VA evaluation is needed as the current evaluations do not address the relationship between the fatal metastatic gastric adenocarcinoma and active service, including documented asbestos exposure and exposure to Camp Lejeune, North Carolina.
