Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of an eye disorder to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors and ensure all in-service toxic exposures are considered.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 VA opinion is found inadequate as it failed to address all pertinent evidence, including the Veteran's lay statements regarding Agent Orange exposure.
