Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for service connection for right and left shoulder disabilities to obtain an additional VA opinion addressing the Veteran's arguments regarding the accuracy of a previous VA opinion.
The deciding factor: The remand is necessary due to the Board's failure to address the Veteran's representative's argument that the November 2022 VA opinion was based on an inaccurate factual premise and failed to consider the Veteran's complete medical history, including continuing symptomatology since service.
