Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a disability rating greater than 10 percent for left ankle fracture with dislocation with arthritis and an initial, compensable disability rating for sarcoidosis from August 20, 2024, through February 13, 2025.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain additional medical opinions addressing the current severity of the Veteran's service-connected disabilities, disregarding the beneficial effects of medications and ensuring all relevant evidence has been considered.
