Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of right and left hand nerve damage prior to July 30, 2021. The Board found that a new medical opinion is needed.
The deciding factor: The Board found the February 2017 VA opinions inadequate because they did not address direct service connection or sufficiently consider the veteran's lay statements.
