Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to a rating in excess of 10 percent for tender scar, dysesthesia, residual, right ankle injury with necrotic ulcer, right distal shin and entitlement to a compensable disability rating for linear surgical scarring, right ankle due to insufficient evidence.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to ensure the Board properly addresses whether there has been substantial compliance with previous remand instructions regarding the nature and severity of the Veteran's service-connected right ankle scar during winter months.
