Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for bilateral foot pain with plantar fasciitis and an increased rating for right knee strain with ankylosis due to inadequate VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The April 2024 VA examiner's opinions are found to be inadequate, and new examinations are required to properly evaluate the Veteran's claims.
