The Board remands the claims for service connection for a right lower extremity disability and left upper extremity disability to better reflect the scope of the claims.
The deciding factor: The evidence is inadequate as it fails to consider the entire record including earlier VA medical opinions, does not explain or touch upon whether the Veteran's lay statements presented sufficient evidence of the etiology of the right lower extremity even without contemporaneous medical evidence, and does not consider all theories of entitlement.
