Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to a compensable evaluation for residuals of a soft tissue injury, right 5th digit and service connection for bilateral hearing loss due to deficiencies in the VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinions were found inadequate as they did not properly address the Veteran's reported symptoms or etiology of the claimed conditions.
