Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a respiratory disability to obtain a VA examination and further evidence regarding potential herbicide exposure during service.
The deciding factor: There is some indication of respiratory symptoms during service that are of an unclear etiology, and there is insufficient evidence to adjudicate the claim without a VA examination opinion.
