Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a more adequate medical opinion regarding the Veteran's cause of death, considering both in-service exposures and post-service risk factors.
The deciding factor: The October 2023 VA opinion is incomplete as it did not address all relevant personal/lifestyle/post-service occupational history and other toxic exposure risks.
