Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for a left ankle disability to obtain an addendum medical opinion regarding the nature of the Veteran's claimed left ankle disability and whether it resulted in functional loss during the appeal period.
The deciding factor: An addendum medical opinion is necessary to determine if the Veteran's left ankle symptomatology resulted in functional impairment during the appeal period, which could constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes.
