Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for bilateral shoulder, toe, low back, and elbow disabilities to schedule new VA examinations as the previous ones were inadequate.
The deciding factor: The previous VA examinations did not provide a reasoned medical explanation connecting the Veteran's claimed disabilities with her service or any service-connected disability.
