Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a gallbladder condition to obtain an additional medical opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's condition, specifically addressing TERA exposures.
The deciding factor: An additional VA TERA opinion is necessary due to an inadequate previous opinion regarding the Veteran's asbestos exposure and other TERA exposures.
