Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of prostate cancer due to inadequate medical opinion. The Veteran's exposure to Camp Lejeune water is considered, but prostate cancer is not on the presumptive list.
The deciding factor: The Board found the August 2022 VA medical opinion inadequate and remanded the case to obtain a new adequate medical opinion.
