Granted
The Board granted the appeal as the AOJ failed to follow proper procedures in severing service connection for the Veteran's left ankle disabilities.
The deciding factor: The AOJ did not provide the required notice and opportunity for the Veteran to submit evidence before severing service connection, which was a procedural error.
