Remanded (sent back)
The claims for service connection for residuals of right and left foot cold weather injuries are remanded to update VA treatment records, obtain an addendum VA medical opinion, and address the probative value of a private medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The claims were remanded due to incomplete private treatment records and the need for additional development including a new VA examination or addendum opinion.
