Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a left elbow disorder to obtain an addendum opinion addressing the etiology of the Veteran's condition, including whether it is related to service or secondary to service-connected disabilities.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner did not address the Veteran's theories of entitlement regarding the onset and causation of his left elbow disorder in relation to his military service and service-connected disabilities.
