Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of athlete's foot and onychomycosis because it needs to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error. The Veteran will have another chance to prove his case.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA examiner's opinion was inadequate because it did not address the Veteran's contentions about developing athlete's foot in service and did not provide sufficient rationale for the diagnosis.
