Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a right wrist disability and entitlement to a 10 percent disability evaluation based upon multiple noncompensable service-connected disabilities due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was found inadequate as it did not address the Veteran's lay statements regarding his symptoms, and thus remand is necessary for a new examination.
