Remanded (sent back)
The Board denied service connection for right and left foot disabilities, as well as a psychiatric disability (PTSD), but remanded the claims for a low back disability and knee disabilities for further development.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record did not support a finding that the Veteran had a current disability related to his claimed conditions during or near the time of service. The Board also found that an examination was necessary to determine the etiology of any diagnosed psychiatric condition, including PTSD.
