Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right foot bunions to provide the Veteran with notice of his right to a hearing and to obtain an adequate medical opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequate medical opinions regarding the etiology of the Veteran's bilateral bunion condition, including a lack of consideration of in-service calluses and abnormal gait.
