Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for service connection of neuropathy in both lower extremities. The Veteran's case will be reconsidered with new medical evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board found that a VA examination and opinion should have been obtained before the AOJ made its decision, as there is no medical opinion in the record regarding the etiology of the Veteran's right and left lower extremities neuropathy.
