Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection of left and right elbow lateral epicondylitis to obtain a new medical opinion addressing the Veteran's lay statements.
The deciding factor: The May 2023 VA medical examination was found inadequate due to self-contradictions and failure to address the Veteran's contention regarding MCMAP training as a cause of his condition.
