Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the claims for service connection for headache and right knee disabilities due to errors in assisting the veteran with obtaining necessary records and medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The Board found that VA did not adequately assist the veteran in obtaining complete service treatment records, private medical records, and a sufficient medical opinion addressing the veteran's toxic exposure risk activities during his service in Southwest Asia.
