The Board remands the claim for service connection of residuals of prostate cancer status post radical prostatectomy to ensure an adequate examination and opinion are provided.
The deciding factor: The August 2024 examination and September 2024 TERA opinion were found inadequate as they failed to address relevant portions of the Veteran's health history, including in-service symptoms and conditions related to his prostate and urinary treatment. The Board finds that remand is necessary to correct this pre-decisional duty to assist error.
