Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a chronic kidney disease to obtain an addendum opinion regarding its relationship to service, including exposure to TERAs.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that the AOJ should have obtained a TERA opinion based on a records review due to the Veteran's declined examination and the need for a complete record upon which to decide the claim.
