Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for further development, including obtaining a complete medical history and an adequate examination to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's conditions.
The deciding factor: The evidence of record is inadequate to make a determination on the claims as it does not provide a detailed history or sufficient medical opinion regarding the onset and etiology of the Veteran's conditions, particularly in relation to his service-connected left ankle LCL sprain.
