Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to a rating in excess of 20 percent for bilateral achilles tendonitis and entitlement to TDIU due to service-connected disabilities for additional development, including obtaining a VA medical opinion addressing whether the Veteran's ankle limitations constitute the functional equivalent of ankylosis.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that remand is required to obtain a VA medical opinion addressing whether the Veteran's ankle limitations constitute the functional equivalent of ankylosis due to the inadequacy in the previous decision regarding this issue.
