Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the matter for a new VA opinion to address whether the Veteran's right shoulder disability is secondary to his service-connected left knee and left ankle disabilities.
The deciding factor: The July 2024 VA examiner provided an inadequate opinion as it used outdated standards and did not adequately consider all evidence provided in the remand directives.
