Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for colon cancer and liver cancer to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error, as the August 2023 VA examination was found inadequate.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to an inadequate VA examination that did not adequately address the Veteran's exposure to contaminants at Camp Lejeune and other herbicides, and failed to explain how medical literature applied to his specific case.
