Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of renal cell carcinoma and residuals of kidney stones, as well as entitlement to a temporary 100 percent evaluation for stage 4 metastatic renal cancer. The Board needs more medical evidence to decide these issues.
The deciding factor: The Board could not make a fully informed decision due to the lack of a medical opinion on whether the veteran's conditions are related to in-service incidents.
