Granted
The Board granted service connection for a left shoulder condition, finding that the Veteran's current disability is related to his military service.
The deciding factor: The Board found the Veteran's competent lay statements regarding continuity of symptoms more probative than the October 2023 VA examiner's opinion and concluded that the evidence was in relative equipoise.
