Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a retrospective medical report addressing the severity of bilateral upper extremity disability between September 2013 and January 2022.
The deciding factor: A remand is warranted due to an inadequate October 2017 VA examination report, necessitating additional medical inquiry.
