Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claims for a higher disability rating for left and right lower sciatic peripheral neuropathy due to an incomplete evaluation of the severity of his condition without considering medication effects.
The deciding factor: The addendum opinions are necessary to evaluate the nature and severity of the Veteran's conditions from November 23, 2016 to July 6, 2021, excluding the alleviating effects of prescribed medications.
