Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for chronic pancreatitis to obtain additional medical opinions regarding its etiology, particularly in relation to toxic exposures during service.
The deciding factor: The VA opinions of record were found inadequate due to lack of supporting rationale and failure to consider specific evidence related to the Veteran's exposures.
