Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claims for service connection for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error related to the failure to provide a VA toxic exposure risk activity (TERA) examination.
The deciding factor: The AOJ failed in its statutory duty to assist by not providing a TERA examination prior to making a decision on the claims, as required under the PACT Act.
