Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for prostate cancer due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error and an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was deemed inadequate as it did not consider the Veteran's presumed exposure to burn pits under the PACT Act, and the AOJ failed to provide the ILER report for the examiner's review.
