Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) to obtain an adequate medical opinion regarding the relationship between the Veteran's condition and in-service Agent Orange exposure.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not provide a sufficient opinion on whether the Veteran's CLL is related to his conceded herbicide exposure at Eglin Air Force Base, which requires remand for additional evidence or clarification.
