Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of a right foot/ankle disability as secondary to other service-connected disabilities has been remanded. The Board needs more medical evidence to decide the case.
The deciding factor: The Board found the initial medical opinion inadequate because it did not address the Veteran's theory about how his service-connected disabilities might have caused or aggravated his right foot/ankle disability.
