Partly granted
The Board denied service connection for a right shoulder disorder and remanded claims for left knee pain and a psychiatric disorder, other than PTSD.
The deciding factor: There is no evidence of an in-service injury or event related to the right shoulder disorder. The low threshold for obtaining a medical examination has been met for the left knee and psychiatric disorders due to current symptoms and service treatment records indicating possible issues during service.
