Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to obtain an addendum opinion regarding the likely etiology of the Veteran's Hodgkin's lymphoma disease, as the previous evidence was found inadequate.
The deciding factor: The private medical opinions were deemed insufficient due to lack of specificity and noncommittal language, necessitating a more detailed review by an appropriate clinician.
