Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection for right and left lower extremity disabilities due to inadequate medical opinions and missing records.
The deciding factor: The medical opinion lacked a sufficient reasoned rationale or medical explanation supporting the conclusion, and there was no substantial compliance with the remand directives.
