Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for right leg amputation to obtain an adequate medical opinion regarding its relationship to the Veteran's service-connected right knee disability.
The deciding factor: The December 2024 VA examination and January 2025 addendum are inadequate as they failed to consider the Veteran's lay statements and did not provide a clear opinion on aggravation by other service-connected disabilities.
