Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to a compensable rating for foot stress fractures, service connection for various arthritic conditions, and TDIU due to a duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: A remand is needed to obtain private treatment records and current VA examinations to determine the current severity of the Veteran's disabilities and their relationship to service.
