Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claims for further development, including obtaining an adequate VA examination to assess the severity of the Veteran's service-connected shoulder disabilities.
The deciding factor: Remand is necessary due to inadequate medical examinations and the need for a statement of the case addressing earlier effective dates.
