Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the veteran's claims for increased disability evaluations for right shoulder impingement syndrome and cervical strain. The decision was based on the need for a retrospective medical opinion regarding flare-ups of these conditions.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the March 2024 VA medical opinion did not provide the necessary retrospective information as required by Correia and Sharp.
