Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a left ankle and left foot condition to correct pre-decisional duty to assist errors and to afford the Veteran new VA examinations.
The deciding factor: Remand is required due to an inaccurate factual premise in the April 2023 examiner's opinion and insufficient rationale provided regarding the absence of documented evidence after service.
