Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for restless leg syndrome of both legs due to a need for an addendum opinion regarding their etiology.
The deciding factor: The VA has not complied with its duty to assist the Veteran prior to the AOJ decision on appeal, as no examiner has opined on whether the Veteran's current restless leg syndrome began during his active service or is related to the leg tingling he reports experiencing during active service.
