Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA examination and opinion addressing the nature and etiology of the Veteran's claimed left foot disability, to include the left foot bone spurs found on the February 2024 x-ray.
The deciding factor: The Board failed to provide an adequate statement of reasons or bases for its July 2024 denial, and did not address all issues reasonably raised by either the claimant or the evidence of record.
