Remanded (sent back)PACT Act
The Board remands the claims for service connection for epiploic appendagitis, hemangioma, and hypertension as they require further medical examination to establish a nexus between these conditions and the Veteran's exposure to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune.
The deciding factor: The opinions provided by the VA examiners were deemed inadequate due to lack of supporting rationale and failure to consider specific facts related to the Veteran's case, necessitating remand for additional medical evaluation.
