Partly granted
The Board granted service connection for a bilateral foot disability, but remanded the claims for left knee, right knee, left ankle, right ankle, and hypertension disabilities.
The deciding factor: The June 2022 VA examiner concluded that the Veteran's bilateral foot disability was at least as likely as not incurred during service. The other claims were remanded due to inadequate VA nexus opinions provided by examiners in March 2022 and June 2022.
