Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for peripheral neuropathy of both lower extremities due to inadequate medical evidence and an unclear opinion from the VA examiner.
The deciding factor: The Board finds the evidence of record inadequate to decide the issue, as the VA examiner's conclusions are confusing, conflicting, and inadequate. An addendum examination is necessary to obtain a clear and adequate opinion on the etiology of the Veteran's bilateral lower extremity peripheral neuropathy.
