Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the case for additional development, including obtaining a new medical opinion regarding the nature and etiology of the Veteran's left shoulder disorder.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's opinion was based on an inaccurate factual premise, as the Veteran claimed he was involved in a Humvee accident during ACDUTRA in 2011 rather than in 2002.
