Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a left heel disability to obtain an addendum opinion that adequately addresses the Veteran's reports of symptoms and history.
The deciding factor: The medical opinions provided by the VA examiner are inadequate as they do not consider the Veteran's reported symptoms and history, which is required under Dalton v. Peake, 21 Vet. App. 23 (2007).
