Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for right and left foot nerve disabilities, to include as secondary to a service-connected disability, for further development of evidence.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions are inadequate due to reliance on an inaccurate diagnosis timeline and lack of clinical evidence supporting a causal relationship between alcohol use and bilateral foot neuropathy.
