Remanded (sent back)
The claim for DIC benefits is remanded because new and relevant evidence has been received. The Board will consider the merits of the claim.
The deciding factor: New and relevant evidence, including a theory that the veteran's liver cancer was caused by exposure to herbicide agents or chemicals and solvents related to his MOS, warrants readjudication.
