Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the matter for a medical opinion to determine if the Veteran's acute myelogenous leukemia was related to his service, including potential exposures to benzene and Agent Orange.
The deciding factor: A remand is required due to an error in satisfying a regulatory duty under 20.802(a) by not obtaining a TERA opinion regarding the Veteran's AML.
