Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of prostate cancer to obtain a new medical opinion as the previous one was deemed inadequate.
The deciding factor: The May 2025 VA medical opinion is considered inadequate due to its reliance on unspecified medical literature and correlation with age, which does not meet the standard for but-for causation in establishing a link between service and prostate cancer.
