Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for a new VA medical opinion regarding the Veteran's right shoulder rotator cuff tendinitis, as the previous opinion was found to be inadequate.
The deciding factor: The previous opinion did not address the correct diagnosis of right shoulder rotator cuff tendinitis and failed to consider possible aggravation by the Veteran's service-connected lumbar spine disability.
