Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for prostate cancer due to various theories, including exposure to herbicides in Okinawa, Camp Lejeune's contaminated water supply, and fuel and exhaust fumes from the Veteran's motor vehicle operator MOS.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not address the theory as due to conceded in-service exposure to fuel and exhaust, requiring remand for an addendum medical opinion.
