Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new examination to determine the current severity of post-polio syndrome with bilateral hand weakness.
The deciding factor: The May 2025 VA examination was inadequate and did not provide specific information about the Veteran's hands, which is necessary to rate the disability accurately.
