Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter of an effective date prior to September 12, 2000 for the grant of service connection for left lower extremity peripheral neuropathy due to inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as the January 2022 VA examiner did not have the appropriate expertise in evaluating neurological disabilities and failed to substantially comply with the Board's remand directives.
