Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for cause of death to ensure an adequate medical opinion is obtained, as the previous opinions were found insufficient.
The deciding factor: The previous VA medical opinions did not address all pertinent issues and failed to provide sufficient information upon which to decide the issue on appeal.
