The appeal is remanded for additional development as the Board finds that there has not been substantial compliance with previous remand directives.
The deciding factor: The May 2025 remand found the most recent VA examinations and etiological opinions addressing the Veteran's left wrist disability to be inadequate, and the June 2025 VA examination was also deemed inadequate. The matter is being remanded for another VA examination with appropriate studies being conducted.
