Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the claim for service connection for skin cancer to correct a duty to assist error. The Veteran's representative asserted that the skin cancer is eligible for presumptive service connection under the PACT Act.
The deciding factor: The Board found the medical opinions inadequate because they did not review accurate evidence of record and provided inadequate rationale.
