Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for a right and left great toenail disability, as well as service connection for bilateral pes planus, due to insufficient evidence regarding the severity and etiology of these conditions.
The deciding factor: An additional opinion is necessary to address whether the Veteran's great toenail disability would be equally served by amputation with prosthesis, and to determine if there is a causal relationship between the Veteran's bilateral pes planus and his service-connected great toenail disabilities.
