Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for ankle pain, low back strain, and right fibula pain to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error and obtain necessary examinations.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to provide the Veteran with VA examinations to determine the nature and etiology of his claimed disabilities due to a lack of current medical records and unclear diagnoses.
