Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for diabetes mellitus, hypertension, lung cancer, skin cancer, and thyroid condition as further development is necessary to address the Veteran's contentions regarding the etiology of these conditions.
The deciding factor: Further development is needed to obtain VA examinations and medical nexus opinions to determine if the Veteran's claimed conditions are related to service or secondary to a service-connected disability.
