Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection for Parkinson's disease because a VA examiner did not adequately address whether the Veteran's condition is related to exposure to JP-4 jet fuel.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the medical opinions provided were inadequate because they did not consider the Veteran's submitted medical literature on the effects of JP-4 jet fuel.
