Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for loss of toes on the right foot due to a pre-decisional duty to assist error and an inadequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The claims file is incomplete, and the VA examiner's opinions did not consider whether the Veteran's service-connected conditions contributed to his toe amputations.
