Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for prostate cancer to obtain a medical opinion regarding its etiology, as new and relevant evidence has been submitted.
The deciding factor: The duty to assist requires VA to obtain an opinion when there is evidence of a disability, evidence that a claimant engaged in a toxic exposure risk activity (TERA), and the evidence is not sufficient to establish service connection of that disability.
