Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a bilateral ankle disorder to obtain an adequate medical examination and opinion, as the previous VA medical opinion was found inadequate.
The deciding factor: The January 2015 VA medical opinion is considered inadequate due to its conclusory nature and failure to address key aspects of the Veteran's claims.
