Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of a right ankle disability because the VA examination was inadequate. The Veteran will get another medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The January 2022 VA examination is inadequate as it relied solely on the lack of documented treatment after service until 1992, without considering the Veteran's reported symptoms.
