Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of a left ankle sprain to correct an error in assisting the veteran. The VA will reconsider the claim with new evidence.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the VA Regional Office erred by not obtaining a medical opinion considering new and relevant evidence submitted by the Veteran.
