Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for right upper lobe carcinoma and coronary artery disease due to errors in the VA's duty to assist.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinion did not adequately address all medical questions, and there was a failure to obtain an addendum opinion addressing the Veteran's toxic exposure risk activities (TERAs) as required by the PACT Act.
