The Board has decided to remand the case for a VA examination and further analysis regarding whether the Veteran's current right leg and foot tingling disability is related to his active service, specifically his duties as a Security Policeman.
The deciding factor: The examiner should consider whether the Veteran's symptoms are due to his active service or if they developed within one year of separation from service.
