Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for Parkinson's disease and the Veteran's cause of death due to insufficient evidence regarding the etiology of the condition.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that a VA medical opinion is warranted to determine whether or not the Veteran's Parkinson's disease is related to claimed toxic exposure, as the previous medical opinion was inadequate.
