Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the case to reevaluate the veteran's liver cancer rating post-transplant. The Board found that the liver transplant was likely due to service-connected liver cancer.
The deciding factor: The Board disagreed with the AOJ's interpretation of the VA examination findings and found that the liver transplant was secondary to the service-connected liver cancer.
