Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for an addendum opinion to determine the nature and etiology of the Veteran's right ankle disability.
The deciding factor: The September 2024 medical opinion is incomplete as it is based on the absence of complaint or treatment for a right ankle condition except for a one-time endorsement, which is insufficient by itself for a negative opinion.
