Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS) to ensure a new TERA opinion is obtained, addressing specific toxic exposures and their potential impact on MGUS.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 and July 2025 VA opinions were found inadequate due to insufficient consideration of exposure details and lack of rationale supporting unfavorable conclusions.
