Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for right Achilles tendonitis with chronic pain, to include as secondary to service-connected right knee conditions, for a new VA examination.
The deciding factor: The December 2023 VA opinion is inadequate and does not address aggravation of the Veteran's right Achilles tendon, necessitating a remand for a new examination.
