Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for compensation under 38 U.S.C. § 1151 for bilateral pes planus, gout, ankle/foot disability manifested by instep and heel pain, other than pes planus, and a knee disability due to alleged VA negligence in April 2007 treatment.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary as the January 2018 VA examination was found inadequate and did not provide adequate rationale for its opinions.
