Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the case to correct a pre-decision duty to assist error and ordered an additional examination of the Veteran's left ankle tendonitis.
The deciding factor: The April 2023 VA examination was inadequate because it did not fully assess the Veteran's reported symptoms and functional limitations.
