Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for chronic fatigue syndrome, muscle/joint pain, respiratory disability, and sleep disability. The VA needs to conduct new examinations to determine if these conditions are related to the veteran's service.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA relied on inadequate medical examinations and did not properly address the veteran's symptoms and potential toxic exposures.
