The Board remands the claims for service connection for bilateral upper and lower extremity peripheral neuropathy as a new and relevant opinion is needed to clarify whether the Veteran's current disabilities are early-onset peripheral neuropathy.

The deciding factor: A remand is necessary due to an inadequate VA examination that failed to address the nature of the Veteran's neuropathy and whether it is considered early-onset peripheral neuropathy.
