Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for ulnar neuropathy of both upper extremities due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The May 2021 VA examination did not account for a March 2021 private treatment note diagnosis, making it inadequate and necessitating a remand for further evaluation.
