Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA addendum opinion to determine if the Veteran's liver cancer and hepatitis C are related to his active service, including exposure to agent orange.
The deciding factor: The previous medical opinions were found inadequate due to insufficient rationale and failure to address all of the Appellant's contentions regarding potential exposures during service.
