Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claims for service connection for prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction on a basis other than as pursuant to the PACT Act due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate because it did not explain why the Veteran's prostate cancer was more likely due to factors other than in-service exposures associated with burn pits and/or fuel handling.
