Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) to ensure proper development and consideration of evidence related to the Veteran's toxic exposure risk activity.
The deciding factor: An addendum opinion is required due to conflicting medical opinions regarding the etiology of the Veteran's liver condition, and there are missing service records that need to be obtained.
