Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a heart condition to schedule a VA examination due to a TERA memorandum indicating participation in a TERA and the need for an opinion on etiology.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as there was no VA examination or opinion provided despite evidence of TERA exposure, which requires such development under the PACT Act.
