Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a left shoulder disorder, cervical spine disorder, and headaches to obtain additional medical evidence. The right knee and left knee claims are denied.
The deciding factor: The October 2024 JMPR vacated the November 2023 denials and remanded the matter for further development and adjudication consistent with the JMPR due to deficiencies in the previous VA opinions and new evidence suggesting a possible secondary connection to service-connected disabilities.
