Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for coronary artery disease, restrictive lung disease, and gastroesophageal reflux disease. The veteran asserted these conditions were caused by exposure to herbicides at Okinawa, Japan, during the Vietnam War Era, as well as other exposures.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the AOJ committed pre-decisional duty to assist errors by not developing the veteran's contentions regarding exposure to chemicals at Parris Island and Aberdeen Proving Ground.
