Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA examination to clarify whether the Veteran has a right knee condition that was caused or aggravated by his service-connected left ankle disability and left plantar fasciitis.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners did not address whether the claimed right knee condition was aggravated by the service-connected left ankle disability, nor did they consider the history of diagnosed chronic left ankle instability.
