Remanded (sent back)
The claim for service connection for athlete's foot was reopened due to new and relevant evidence, but the issue is being remanded for further development.
The deciding factor: The Board found that a pre-decisional duty-to-assist error occurred as the July 2020 VA examiner did not adequately address the Veteran's lay statements regarding the onset of athlete's foot during service.
