Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for service connection of degenerative changes in the left foot and degenerative arthritis in the right foot due to inadequate examination and missing medical records.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's report was based on inaccurate premises and ignored key medical history, necessitating a remand for proper evaluation.
