Remanded (sent back)
The claims for service connection for chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and right leg condition are remanded due to the RO's failure to substantially comply with the Board's prior remand instructions.
The deciding factor: The addendum opinions failed to adequately address the relevant evidence of record, including in-service treatment records and post-service medical evidence.
