Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for prostate cancer to cure pre-decisional duty to assist errors and obtain a TERA opinion, an ionizing radiation exposure development, and a direct service connection opinion.
The deciding factor: The AOJ made various errors prior to issuing its May 2025 rating decision, including failing to obtain a TERA opinion regarding the Veteran's potential exposures at Fort McClellan and Siegelsbach, Germany, and an inadequate direct service connection opinion. The Board must remand for these deficiencies.
