Remanded (sent back)
The appeal for service-connection of left hand strain is remanded. The Board needs more evidence to decide if the condition is related to military service.
The deciding factor: The Veteran's claim is being remanded because the VA examiner did not adequately address all relevant medical history, including surgeries on both hands.
