Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new medical opinion regarding the nature and etiology of the Veteran's left elbow bone spurs, including whether it is related to or caused by his service-connected gout.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's previous opinion was found inadequate due to an inaccurate factual premise and lack of rationale. A remand is necessary for a new medical opinion.
