Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issue of entitlement to a left arm disability, including arthritis and numbness, for further development as the prior VA examination was found inadequate.
The deciding factor: The 2024 opinion is not adequate due to its reliance on the absence of documented complaints post-service without considering other relevant factors.
