Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of amputation of the right foot great toe to cure pre-decisional duty to assist errors.
The deciding factor: The VA failed to obtain complete private medical records and a specific medical opinion regarding the Veteran's contention that his service-connected right knee strain caused dysfunction in his right foot, interfering with wound healing on the right great toe resulting in amputation.
