Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claims for service connection for liver cancer and cholecystectomy to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors related to toxic exposure risk activities.
The deciding factor: The TERA memo and VA examinations are considered inadequate, necessitating an updated TERA memo and a new medical opinion considering all potential exposures.
