The Board has decided the appeal and has ordered a new VA examination to determine if the Veteran currently has a bilateral foot rash condition, and whether it is related to service.
The deciding factor: The previous VA opinion was inadequate as it did not reconcile the Veteran's lay reports with his treatment records showing occurrences of a foot rash.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
