Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for service connection of right and left elbow disorders. The VA needs to conduct a new examination considering all relevant evidence, including the veteran's lay statements about symptoms during active duty.
The deciding factor: The examiner did not consider the Veteran's lay statements about symptoms during active duty, which is a pre-decisional duty to assist error.
