The Board remands the claims for service connection for bladder cancer, diabetes mellitus, type II, and prostate cancer due to a need for further development of evidence.
The deciding factor: Further development is necessary as there are indications of disabilities, the Veteran has participated in toxic exposure risk activities, and the evidence of record is not sufficient to establish service connection. A VA medical opinion is required that complies with the statutory duty imposed by the PACT Act.
