Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for the Veteran's service-connected left ankle disability is remanded to address the potential ameliorative effects of medication.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to determine the severity of the Veteran's symptoms while discounting the ameliorative effects of medication.
