Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the Veteran's claims for service connection for right shoulder condition, lumbar spine condition, gastrointestinal condition (GERD), and obstructive sleep apnea due to inadequate VA examinations.
The deciding factor: The Board found that the August 2024 VA opinions were inadequate as they did not address the Veteran's contentions or provide sufficient rationale.
