Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for prostate cancer, hypertension, and diabetes mellitus type II due to duty-to-assist errors and a need for additional development of evidence related to in-service chemical exposures.
The deciding factor: Additional development is necessary to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors and afford all due consideration as to the Veteran's claimed herbicide agent and other chemical exposures.
