Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Veteran's claims for service connection of thyroid disorder and liver disorder are remanded. The Board will consider the evidence of record at the time of the October 2022 AOJ decision on appeal.
The deciding factor: The Board is remanding the claims because there was a pre-decisional duty to assist error, specifically the failure to obtain adequate TERA examinations or opinions.
