Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the claim for service connection for skin disability, including actinic keratoses and seborrheic dermatitis, due to errors in assisting the veteran with obtaining necessary records.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Agency of Original Jurisdiction (AOJ) did not obtain relevant private treatment records and failed to develop the record regarding the Veteran's alleged chemical exposures as potential Toxic Exposure Risk Activities (TERAs).
