Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right ankle disabilities due to a need for further development, including obtaining additional medical opinions.
The deciding factor: Further development is required as the record is at least in equipoise regarding whether the Veteran has current disabilities, and an addendum opinion considering this premise is warranted.
