Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection for bilateral hallux valgus to obtain an addendum opinion addressing whether the condition was aggravated by service.
The deciding factor: The November 2023 VA medical opinion is found inadequate due to omissions and failure to address relevant evidence, necessitating a remand for further clarification.
