Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for right-hand tenosynovitis with trigger finger and right shoulder impingement with calcific tendinitis to obtain additional evidence regarding the Veteran's duty status during his reported in-service injuries.
The deciding factor: The evidence is insufficient to make a fully-informed decision on the issue, as the claims file does not contain complete service records for the relevant periods, and there are questions about the Veteran's duty status at the time of his reported injuries.
