Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter to correct a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error, specifically to verify the Veteran's assertion of herbicide exposure while working on C-123 aircraft at Clark Air Base from May 1965 to November 1966.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to verify the Veteran's claimed exposure to herbicides based on regular and repeated duties performed while operating, maintaining, or serving onboard contaminated C-123 aircraft that were used to spray herbicide agents in Vietnam.
