Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of classical Hodgkin's lymphoma is remanded. The Board needs more medical evidence to decide if the Veteran's exposure to chemicals in service caused his condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found a pre-decisional duty to assist error because the VA did not obtain a new medical opinion addressing the Veteran's reported exposures.
