Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to service connection for a recurrent right foot disability and a recurrent left foot disability for additional development, including a VA examination.
The deciding factor: The examination report is of limited probative value due to deficiencies in addressing the Veteran's credible history of bilateral foot pain since being assigned ill-fitting boots during active service.
