Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for asthma to obtain a medical opinion addressing its etiology, including considering exposure to herbicide agents and toxic risk activities.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to the failure to obtain a medical nexus opinion and to address the Veteran's participation in toxic exposure risk activities under 38 U.S.C. § 1168.
