Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for prostate cancer and bladder cancer due to a duty to assist error, requiring further medical examination that considers all toxic exposure risk activities.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as the previous VA medical examinations did not consider the combined, synergistic effects of all TERAs the Veteran participated in.
