Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board granted the application to readjudicate the claim of service connection for left ear hearing loss due to new and relevant evidence, but remanded the issue for further development including a VA examination.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence has been received regarding the Veteran's participation in toxic exposure risk activities (TERA) under the PACT Act, which necessitates a remand for an appropriate medical opinion.
