Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of prostate cancer to correct errors in assisting the veteran's claim. The Veteran asserts his prostate cancer is secondary to medications used to treat his service-connected gout disability or due to exposure to trichloroethylene (TCE).
The deciding factor: The Board found that VA did not adequately assist the veteran in obtaining necessary evidence and opinions.
