Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for a rating in excess of 10 percent for right hand arthritis, right thumb finger injury due to insufficient evidence regarding the severity of the disability.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary as there has not been substantial compliance with the Board's prior remand directives, specifically regarding an additional examination that addresses certain inquiries about flare-ups and cold weather effects on the Veteran's thumb.
