Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of liver cancer to obtain an adequate medical opinion that considers all toxic exposure risk activities during the Veteran's service, including presumed in-service exposure to herbicide agents and probable in-service exposure to asbestos.
The deciding factor: The March 2024 VA examiner provided inadequate opinions based on inaccurate statements regarding the Veteran's toxic exposures, necessitating a new examination.
