Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for service connection for non-Hodgkin's lymphoma and bilateral upper extremity peripheral neuropathy. The Veteran's toxic exposures during service are a key factor in determining if these conditions are related to his service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the AOJ relied on an inadequate medical opinion, requiring a remand to correct this error.
