Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for a left ankle sprain, to include as secondary to right ankle sprain with accessory navicular, due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error by ensuring all reasonably raised theories of entitlement are developed and that an adequate VA opinion is obtained.
