Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for a new medical opinion to address the etiology of the Veteran's left ankle disorder due to an inadequate previous medical nexus opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is required because the previous medical opinion was based on an incomplete review of the medical record and incorrect facts, making it inadequate.
