Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for right-ankle and left-ankle tendonitis to obtain additional evidence and opinions.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA examiner's opinion was inadequate because it relied on the absence of evidence rather than addressing the Veteran's reported symptoms and lay statements.
