Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a VA examination to determine the nature and likely etiology of the Veteran's foot disabilities, including whether they are related to his service in Korea.
The deciding factor: A medical examination is necessary due to insufficient evidence linking the current disability to the Veteran's service, specifically regarding frostbite injuries sustained during his tour of duty in North Korea.
