Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is remanded. The VA needs to obtain more evidence related to the veteran's exposure to herbicide agents at Clark Air Force Base.
The deciding factor: The VA failed to obtain cited-to materials in OPERATION RANCH HAND and outstanding treatment records from Dr. A.
