Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of right hand, shoulder, thumb, wrist, and knee disorders due to a lack of medical evidence. The veteran is encouraged to submit any private medical records.
The deciding factor: The Board found pre-decisional duty to assist errors in not providing the Veteran a Persian Gulf War examination.
