Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claim for service connection of a nerve condition in the left upper extremity, considering it secondary to the Veteran's service-connected shoulder and neck conditions. The Board found that the Veteran has a current nerve condition but needs further medical opinion.
The deciding factor: The Board remanded because VA committed a duty-to-assist error prior to the decision on appeal.
