Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for laryngeal cancer to conduct further development, including verifying in-service exposures and scheduling a TERA examination.
The deciding factor: The third McLendon element is met as the Veteran's physician stated that his in-service exposures may have contributed to his current diagnosis of laryngeal cancer. However, an examination was not conducted, necessitating a remand.
