Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of diabetes mellitus, type II to obtain a medical examination and opinion regarding the Veteran's in-service exposure to various toxins.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to the need for a medical opinion addressing the possibility of a nexus between the claimed disability and the Veteran's in-service toxic exposures as mandated by the PACT Act.
