Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of prostate cancer to obtain an addendum opinion that addresses the Veteran's contention of a link between his condition and in-service exposure.
The deciding factor: The previous VA examination was found inadequate due to its use of a heightened standard of 'definitive causal relationship' instead of the appropriate standard of 'at least as likely as not.'
