Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of prostate disability and prostate cancer due to duty-to-assist errors. The veteran asserts that his conditions are related to service, including herbicide exposure in Guam.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the AOJ relied on inadequate medical opinions and did not fully develop the veteran's assertions regarding service in Guam.
