Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the service connection claim for right foot amputation of all metatarsophalangeal joints due to MRSA infection for further development, specifically to obtain relevant records from the Social Security Administration.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary to correct a pre-decisional duty to assist error by obtaining potentially relevant SSA disability benefit records.
