Remanded (sent back)
The Board remands the claim for service connection of a right shoulder disorder to obtain medical opinions on whether it is caused or aggravated by the Veteran's service-connected cervical spine disability.
The deciding factor: Remand is required to address a theory of secondary service connection that was reasonably raised by the record, as per the Joint Motion for Partial Remand.
