Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for type 2 diabetes mellitus to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an inadequate VA medical opinion regarding the relationship between obesity and service-connected conditions, which may have implications for the direct service connection theory of entitlement.
