Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for various disabilities, including plantar fasciitis of both feet, a low back disability, a left ankle disability, meniscus tears in both knees, and hip disabilities, as additional development is necessary to obtain adequate medical opinions.
The deciding factor: The Board finds that current evidence does not adequately support the claims for service connection, necessitating further examination and opinion from a clinician with sufficient expertise.
