Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for throat cancer to obtain additional medical evidence regarding the relationship between the Veteran's service, including exposure to herbicide agents, and his development of throat cancer.
The deciding factor: An addendum opinion is needed to clarify whether the Veteran's conceded exposure to herbicide agents contributed to his development of throat cancer, as well as an opinion on a secondary theory of entitlement based on his service-connected PTSD.
