Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for a higher rating for his service-connected right ankle disability due to an inadequate VA examination report.
The deciding factor: The February 2024 VA examination report is found to be inadequate for rating purposes, as it contains what appears to be inconsistent findings regarding flare-ups of the right ankle disability.
