Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim to obtain a VA examination and corresponding opinion to address the nature and etiology of any disability or functional impairment of the right hand.
The deciding factor: The evidence received more than one year since the final June 1990 rating decision raises a reasonable possibility of substantiating the Veteran's claim for service connection for a right-hand condition.
