The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including obtaining a copy of any June 22, 2009 and/or July 22, 2009 VA C&P examination report as cited by the VA addendum opinion. The case will be readjudicated after this development.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's most recent VA examination was performed in June 2010 with an addendum in September 2011, but a copy of any June 22, 2009 and/or July 22, 2009 C&P examination report is missing from the file.
