Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case to schedule a VA medical opinion regarding the etiology of the Veteran's prostate cancer, specifically whether it is caused or aggravated by exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to pre-decisional duty to assist error and the need for a VA examination to establish a causal link between the Veteran's prostate cancer and his service or exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
