Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of service connection for a right ankle skin condition for additional development, specifically to obtain VA medical opinions addressing all chronic skin conditions present through the life of the appeal.
The deciding factor: Remand is warranted due to the failure of the prior VA examiner's opinion to substantially comply with the Board's remand order and address specific skin conditions in the Veteran's medical records.
