Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claims for service connection for thyroid cancer status post thyroidectomy, cerebral meningioma, schwannoma tumor and residuals of gamma knife procedure, and seizures due to a need for additional development under the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act (PACT Act).
The deciding factor: The Board remands the claims because it finds that a remand is warranted for additional evidentiary and procedural development in accordance with the PACT Act, which expanded healthcare access for veterans who participated in toxic exposure risk activities.
