Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for a new retrospective opinion to provide an estimate of the Veteran's right shoulder flare-up measurements at the time of his May 2014 examination.
The deciding factor: The VA examiner's failure to provide any rationale for why estimates could not be provided is an inadequate response and did not comply with the Board's remand directive.
