Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a medical opinion to determine if the Veteran's right foot condition was caused or aggravated by his service-connected left ankle disability.
The deciding factor: The VA examiners' opinions were found inadequate as they did not address both causation and aggravation, and failed to consider all relevant evidence of record.
