Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for type II diabetes to obtain an adequate medical opinion regarding its etiology, including whether it is related to in-service toxic exposure and/or a chronic disease presumption.
The deciding factor: The previous opinions were found inadequate as they did not address all relevant theories of entitlement, including secondary service connection and the presumptive period for chronic diseases.
