Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for additional development, including a new examination to address the nature and etiology of any existing foot disability and whether it is related to service or service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The examiner's inability to provide an opinion due to insufficient information and the need for further medical evidence led to the remand.
