Remanded (sent back)
The Veteran's claims for service connection for ischemic cardiomyopathy, diabetes type II, and left lower extremity PAD are remanded. The Board needs more information about the Veteran's exposures during service.
The deciding factor: The Board is remanding because it lacks sufficient evidence to determine if the Veteran was exposed to certain toxins during his service.
