Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a new VA examination to clarify the Veteran's current diagnosis and symptomatology, and to determine if any right hand disability is secondary to his service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The medical opinions of record are insufficient to adjudicate the claim as they do not provide rationale for the finding of no diagnosis or address whether the Veteran's reported symptoms result in functional impairment that impact earning capacity.
