Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the Veteran's claims for initial compensable ratings for left foot hallux valgus, right foot hallux valgus, and migraines. The Veteran will undergo new VA examinations to determine the current severity of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board concluded that pre-decisional duty to assist errors occurred due to the failure to obtain addendum opinions or new examinations following contradictory lay statements.
