Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a retrospective VA medical opinion to determine if the Veteran's Parkinson disease, prostate cancer, or OSA are related to his service.
The deciding factor: The record is insufficient due to the lack of an adequate medical opinion addressing the causal nexus between the Veteran's service and his cause of death.
