Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded all issues related to service connection and rating increases for the veteran's left foot disorder, right knee conditions, and TDIU. The Board instructed the regional office to secure additional medical opinions and records.
The deciding factor: The Board found that previous medical opinions were inadequate and did not fully address the potential connections between the veteran's service-connected disabilities and the claimed conditions.
