Remanded (sent back)
The Board granted a readjudication of the veteran's claim for service connection for residuals of a left ankle injury due to new and relevant evidence. The case is remanded for further adjudication.
The deciding factor: New medical treatment records showing a diagnosis of left ankle arthritis, not considered in the prior denial, constituted new and relevant evidence.
