Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for coronary artery disease to verify whether the Veteran had temporary duty service in Thailand while stationed in the Philippines between December 1963 and May 1965.
The deciding factor: The AOJ committed a pre-decisional duty to assist error by failing to adequately develop the Veteran's assertion of TDY to Thailand, and possible exposure to herbicides and/or other chemicals.
