Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right hand disabilities due to a failure to appear for scheduled VA examinations.
The deciding factor: A remand is necessary as the Veteran has not shown good cause for his failure to appear for the required VA examinations, and reasonable attempts must be made to verify his current contact information.
