The Veteran's appeal is being remanded for additional development, including obtaining VA and private treatment records, arranging for a new VA examination to assess the severity of her service-connected residuals of right clavicle fracture, and addressing any neurological symptoms related to this condition.
The deciding factor: The Veteran has provided testimony regarding worsening symptoms since her last VA examination in December 2013. Additionally, she reported ongoing complaints of pain, weakness, numbness, and tingling in her right shoulder and arm, which may be related to her service-connected residuals of right clavicle fracture.
