Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for residuals of kidney cancer to correct an error by the AOJ and ensure adequate development of the evidence regarding potential toxic exposure during service.
The deciding factor: The June 2024 TERA memorandum is found inadequate, and further development is required to determine whether the Veteran was exposed to TERAs during his service, including asbestos exposure based on his Navy MOS.
