Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a right hip, right foot, and left foot disability to obtain additional medical opinions regarding secondary service connection.
The deciding factor: The examiner's opinions were found inadequate due to lack of specificity in addressing aggravation and the need for an opinion on whether the Veteran's bilateral foot condition is secondarily related to his now service-connected left knee condition.
