Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the appeal for additional development to ensure adequate reasons and bases are provided in evaluating the Veteran's right ankle disability.
The deciding factor: The June 2025 VA examination report was found inadequate due to lack of in-person testing, unexplained estimated ROM measurements, and failure to address medication effects on symptoms.
