Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the issues of entitlement to an initial rating in excess of 20 percent for right shoulder impingement with rotator cuff tear and total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) for additional evidentiary development.
The deciding factor: The AOJ must obtain outstanding medical records, provide a new medical opinion regarding the service-connected right shoulder condition, and address the Veteran's TDIU claim through an extraschedular referral.
