Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for bilateral renal cysts to obtain an addendum opinion addressing whether the Veteran's condition is related to his service, including exposure to contaminated water at Camp LeJeune.
The deciding factor: The examiner's previous opinion was inadequate as it did not independently determine whether the Veteran's renal cysts are related to his service despite not being a presumptive disability.
