Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a right ankle disability to obtain an addendum medical opinion that addresses the nature and etiology of the Veteran's claimed condition, considering her military personnel records and in-service treatment.
The deciding factor: The previous VA opinions were found inadequate due to their failure to consider relevant evidence and the Veteran's lay statements.
