Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for an increased rating of the veteran's right foot disability is remanded. The Board found a duty to assist error and ordered a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: The Board found that a pre-decisional duty to assist error occurred because the Veteran was not provided with a new VA examination despite worsening symptoms.
