Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for an initial evaluation in excess of 20 percent for right upper extremity radiculopathy due to an inadequate VA examination.
The deciding factor: The VA examination was found inadequate as it did not provide sufficient information on the severity of the Veteran's condition and was inconsistent with the Veteran's lay statements.
