Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for oral cavity cancer to obtain an adequate VA opinion regarding the relationship between the Veteran's diagnosed condition and her in-service exposures.
The deciding factor: The April 2025 VA opinion was found inadequate due to reliance on a lack of medical literature, inaccurate factual basis, and failure to address specific case facts.
