Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for colon polyps due to a duty to assist error, requiring a medical opinion on its etiology.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary because there is insufficient information to make a decision on the claim regarding the link between the Veteran's colon polyps and potential herbicide agent exposure during service.
