Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of hepatic steatosis and heart disorder due to exposure at Camp Lejeune. The veteran will receive new examinations.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the veteran was not afforded in-person examinations for either condition, and a proper medical opinion under the PACT Act was not provided.
