Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of right wrist, low back, right ankle, and right knee conditions due to errors in the initial decision process.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the Regional Office relied on inadequate medical opinions and failed to obtain new ones, constituting a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
