Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for a right ankle disability due to duty-to-assist errors, including the need for an adequate medical examination and outstanding private treatment records.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to duty-to-assist errors that occurred prior to the June 2023 rating decision on appeal, specifically the lack of an adequate medical opinion and outstanding private treatment records.
