Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for additional evidentiary development to address the Veteran's contentions regarding his low back, left hip, right hip, and lower extremity venous stasis diseases.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA medical opinions are incomplete and do not substantially comply with the Board's December 2023 remand directives. The June 2025 VA medical opinions also fail to address certain issues adequately, necessitating further development.
