Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for residuals of stress fracture, left leg, due to a need for additional examination that complies with Correia v. McDonald.
The deciding factor: The February 2021 VA examiner's report did not fully comply with the requirements set forth in Correia v. McDonald, necessitating a remand for an adequate examination.
