Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of a right foot disability. The Veteran alleges that his injury occurred when a hatch fell on his foot during service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the VA examiner's opinion inadequate because it did not consider the Veteran's lay statements about the injury and continuity of symptoms.
