Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for atrial fibrillation, prostate cancer, and COPD due to inadequate medical nexus opinions. The veteran will receive a new decision after additional evidence is obtained.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA did not obtain adequate medical nexus opinions prior to the June 2024 decision on appeal.
