Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the Veteran's claim for a new examination to address whether his current right shoulder disability is related to service, considering the presumption of soundness.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 examiner did not fully comply with the prior remand directives by failing to disregard evidence of a pre-existing condition at entry into active service.
