Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service connection of a right thumb disability has been remanded. The Board needs more information to decide if the veteran's current condition is related to an injury during active service.
The deciding factor: The VA medical opinions were inadequate as they did not address the relationship between the veteran's current impairments and the documented service injury.
