The Board remands the claim for compensation under 38 USC 1151 for right leg amputation to obtain a new VA opinion based on a more complete evidentiary record.
The deciding factor: The July 2020 VA opinion was found inadequate due to incomplete medical evidence and failure to address certain contentions regarding the Veteran's care.

What this means for you
A remand is not a loss. The Board sent the case back for more development — often a new exam or missing records — before making a final decision. Many remands later end in a grant, and the decision spells out exactly what the Board wanted to see.
