Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claim for service connection of chronic myeloid leukemia to allow for a proper medical examination regarding the nature and etiology of the condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that an adequate examination was not provided, specifically lacking an etiological opinion on the veteran's theory of exposure to ionizing radiation while having eczema.
