Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for right ankle joint pain due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was deemed inadequate because it lacked sufficient detail and did not consider all relevant evidence, including lay statements of continuous symptoms since service.
