Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right foot calcaneal spurs due to an inadequate VA medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The February 2023 VA medical opinion is considered inadequate as it did not discuss service treatment records documenting foot pain and arch supports in July 1984 and August 1984, necessitating a new medical opinion.
