Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for right and left carpal tunnel syndrome to obtain an addendum opinion that addresses relevant service treatment records.
The deciding factor: An addendum opinion is necessary as the VA examiner did not address relevant service treatment records, specifically those showing arm and hand pain during service.
