Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for left and right wrist sprain due to a pre-decision duty-to-assist error, specifically the absence of a medical opinion.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary to obtain an appropriate VA medical opinion regarding the relationship between the Veteran's diagnosed bilateral wrist sprain and their active military service.
