Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for coronary artery disease and prostate cancer, to include as due to herbicide exposure or a medically unexplained chronic multi-symptom illness (MUCMI), for further development of the record.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to obtain an addendum opinion regarding the etiology of the conditions in question, specifically addressing whether they could qualify as a MUCMI due to service in Southwest Asia during the Gulf War.
