Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for the cause of the Veteran's death to obtain a new VA opinion considering the appellant's submitted favorable medical and scientific literature.
The deciding factor: The need for a new VA opinion is due to the AOJ's failure to consider the new favorable evidence provided prior to the November 2024 rating decision on appeal, which must be corrected on remand.
