Remanded (sent back)
The Board remanded the claims for additional development due to inadequate medical opinions and unclear evidence regarding the etiology of the Veteran's left shoulder and right knee conditions.
The deciding factor: The opinions provided were found insufficient as they did not adequately address the Veteran's lay statements or explain why an absence of treatment was medically significant.
