Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for an initial rating in excess of 10 percent for left ankle sprain and left wrist sprain. The decision was made due to a lack of sufficient medical information and the need for further examinations.
The deciding factor: The Board found that no VA examiner has provided an estimate as to what range of motion or other functional loss would be absent the ameliorative effects of medication, necessitating a remand for new VA examinations.
