Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for compensation for a right hand condition because the VA's medical opinion was inadequate. The Veteran will get another chance to prove his case.
The deciding factor: The VA's medical opinion did not adequately address whether informed consent was obtained or consider the Veteran's contention that his hand should never have been placed in a cast.
