Granted
The Board granted service connection for left and right shoulder disabilities, resolving reasonable doubt in favor of the Veteran.
The deciding factor: The February 2023 private medical opinion attributed the Veteran's shoulder disabilities to his period of honorable active service, and this was considered in light of the evidence against the claims.
