Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for increased ratings for the Veteran's idiopathic neuropathy conditions due to insufficient evidence and the need for a medical opinion on the ameliorative effects of medication.
The deciding factor: Insufficient evidence exists to adjudicate the claims, necessitating further clarification regarding the severity of the Veteran's idiopathic neuropathy conditions without the ameliorative effects of medication.
