Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for increased ratings for peripheral neuropathy of both lower extremities. The Veteran will undergo a new VA examination to determine the nature and severity of his condition.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the previous examination did not adequately consider the effects of medication on the Veteran's symptoms, warranting a remand for further evaluation.
