Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for hypertension and prostate cancer status post prostatectomy as additional development is needed.
The deciding factor: An addendum opinion was not provided regarding whether the Veteran's conditions are due to or aggravated by his service-connected disability, and a TERA memorandum needs to be completed to determine if there is a nexus between the prostate cancer and toxic exposure during service.
