Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for service connection for a right wrist disability to obtain a new medical opinion addressing the etiology of the condition.
The deciding factor: The previous VA medical opinion was found inadequate due to its failure to address the Veteran's lay reports of recurrent pain since service and the lack of contemporaneous medical evidence supporting the opinion.
