The Board has decided to remand the case due to the need for a VA examination to determine if the Veteran's current right foot plantar wart disability had its onset during, or is otherwise related to, his military service.
The deciding factor: The examiner should address whether the Veteran's lay testimony regarding the onset and recurrence of his right foot plantar wart is consistent with current medical knowledge.
