Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection for hypothyroidism, finding that new evidence warrants readjudication. The Veteran's exposure to herbicides in Korea is being reconsidered.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Veteran's July 2021 statement provided new and relevant evidence sufficient to warrant readjudication of the previously denied claim for service connection for hypothyroidism.
