Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claim for service connection for right ear sensorineural hearing loss to obtain additional medical evidence regarding its etiology, including considering the Veteran's presumed in-service toxic exposure risk activities.
The deciding factor: The August 2022 VA medical opinion is inadequate as it did not consider relevant service treatment records and a remand is necessary to ensure an adequate medical opinion is obtained.
