Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for chronic kidney disease, hypertension, supraventricular arrhythmias, erectile dysfunction and coronary artery disease to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Further research is needed to determine if the Veteran was exposed to herbicides or asbestos during service, as well as medical opinions regarding the etiology of his claimed conditions.
