Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the service connection claim for immune thrombocytopenic purpura, as an addendum medical opinion is necessary to address the nature and etiology of the Veteran's condition related to his exposure to Agent Orange.
The deciding factor: An inadequate VA medical opinion was provided, failing to adequately explain why the Veteran's ITP was not related to his toxic exposure.
