Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of precancerous polyps, also claimed as colon/colorectal cancer, to obtain a VA examination and medical opinion.
The deciding factor: A review of the record indicates the Veteran's claims file does not contain an adequate nexus opinion regarding his claimed disability and toxic exposure in service. Therefore, a remand is necessary for further development.
