Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a new VA examination to determine if the Veteran's left leg condition is secondary to her service-connected right leg disability.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 and August 2024 opinions were found inadequate due to their failure to address the Veteran's lay evidence regarding the impact of her right leg condition on her left leg, and a new examination is warranted.
